Install fails

[anonymous]

Try to install, getting errors...

First, just an F.Y.I: PIL fails to install with a bunch of syntax errors like these:

[...snip...]

I fixed that by running apt-get install python-imaging.

Next, the plugin itself failed with similar errors:

Got it compile by doing this:

sudo apt-get install -y python-dev

That gave my Python.h, etc. so the compile worked. But there are still a ton of C warnings, they scare me!

Also, still got this at the top:

I think I got rid of the warning of the top... haven't tested yet.

First, I uninstalled the plugin:

sudo nano /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/easy-install.pth
# Remove the TracWikiPrintPlugin line, then:
rm /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TracWikiPrintPlugin-1.6-py2.5.egg

Then I installed the dev package (and fonts, too) for FreeType:

sudo apt-get install -y libfreetype6-dev msttcorefonts

That seemed to fix it.

It would be nice if these deps were mentioned on the install page. It took time to try to figure this out. I'm leaving the issue open as a documentation "bug".
