vim - Missing python libraries and include dirs on linux -


i want build youcompleteme plugin vim. once run cmake according manual, errors:

could not find pythonlibs (missing: python_libraries python_include_dirs) 

the problem have old red had linux , yum give python 2.7. need build sources. questions should build python? corresponds python-dev package on ubuntu? environment paths should set , values?

how can figrue out path should setup based on cmake config file?

thank you.

i think best way not install python2.7 system - use pyenv - https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv install specific version of python need in local directory (~/.pyenv./....)

now, use pyenv install -ks 2.7.0` install , compile python 2.7.10 ~/.pyenv/versions/2.7.10 directory without touching rest of system.

then in directory try compile plugin, pyenv local 2.7.10 create file .python-version control version pyenv use.

the reason because if install python2.7 system, mess other applications whichi may not expect version.

also, pyenv install -dev versions - so, no step needed that
