[tahoe-dev] tahoe-dev Digest, Vol 37, Issue 23

Hello Matthew,

I think this error occur because python is looking for a C-Compiller.

Take a look on this page:
http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/AdvancedInstall

Follow the instruction on the section: "What if that doesn't work?"

If you have python 2.6 , you can just follow point 1 to 3

I hope this help.
