[mapserver-users] Mapserver 7.6.2

[Stephane Poissant]

Good morning to you guys!

In an effort to complete this mapserver upgrade/install on Amazon Linux 2, I am still facing one thing
That you guys may help me with. When I do make install, the script complains about python oath but I can’t
Find exactly what it is looking for,. I did try a few unsuccessful thing yet.

Any suggestions?
The following link points to nowhere:   https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html#custom-installation-locations

I’ve got the following path that do exist:

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (empty)

-- Installing: /usr/local/share/mapserver/cmake/mapserverTargets-release.cmake
running install
Checking .pth file support in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
/bin/python -E -c pass
TEST FAILED: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ does NOT support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from.  The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:

    ':'

Here are some of your options for correcting the problem:

* You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is
  on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files

* You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment
  variable.  (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run
  Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.)

* You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by
  using one of the approaches described here:

  https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html#custom-installation-locations


Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
-- Installing: /usr/local/lib64/libjavamapscript.so
