python-config missing

I'm installing a program that requires I have python-config installed. The only problem is that I do not currently have python-config, and I cannot seem to figure out how to get it.

After searching around, I can supposedly install it via:

yum install python-devel

However, after doing so, python-config still does not exist.

I am currently using Python 2.4 on a cluster running CentOS 5.2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My solution:

yum remove python38-devel

and reinstall it:

yum install python38-devel.

I had the same issue running CentOS 8 with python 3.6. python3-config is installed and not python-config. you can either create a symlink or just use python3-config .

yum install python-configparser

FYI, if you install python3 via IUS, the equivalent python-config is /usr/lib64/python3.6/configparser.py. You may need to create a symlink by yourself.

Maybe it installed the file somewhere else.

First do:

         which python

on command line to find where the executable file is located.

Second:

Compare the installation file folder to see if it is in the same place.

Third:

if not you can either move it to the same folder or use the executable pointed by your file by calling it from the top of your scripts. It should look something like this:

       #!/usr/bin/Python-2.7.11

Resist changing the python version of your cluster, calling it from your script with a locally installed version seems to be the best solution.

Jason's reply may solve your missing dependency issue though more information is required regarding how you are installing your main package which needs python-config as its dependency.

If installation is done via yum or directly from rpm files and rpm package has python-config as its dependency then even if you install python config from setup.py file missing package error wouldn't go away. In this case you may have to do force install using yum or rpm or install main application via different method.
