Your missing dependencies that plone needs to build properly. I look for an install readme file and look there first. Not sure which distro you but I also use apt-file with Ubuntu sudo apt-get install apt-file apt-file update apt-file searchbits/predefs.h You'll then have to install the package that it says to. You'll have to keep doing this for each missing dep. It takes time but you'll eventually chip away the issues so it'll build. If no, you'll want to try and find a pre-built package. ________________________________ From: Michael Havens To: Main PLUG discussion list Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 2:37 PM Subject: Re: problem installing plone This is cool...
