Now you will be able to continue with the installation. So open the source file: vi ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/build.pyĬhange that function so it only returns the full path to your python libraries (the following in my case): def FindPythonLibrariesOnLinux(): If you know where python is installed you can find that path and replace the entire content of the function called FindPythonLibrariesOnLinux() with an array that contains the locations of your python libraries. usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.soīut for you it's not able to locate python. You can run that file with: python youcompletemetest.py Print ' '.join(FindPythonLibrariesOnLinux()) If match and oup( 'library' ) = python_library: Ldconfig_output = CheckOutput( ).strip().decode( 'utf8' )įor line in ldconfig_output.splitlines(): Python_library = 'lib' + python_name + '.so' # not installed in its default path: /usr/lib. # On some distributions (Ubuntu for instance), the Python system library is

You can run just the part of script that's causing you problems by creating a file called youcompletemetest.py and fill it with the following code: import sys The error you're seeing is probably being returned by function FindPythonLibrariesOnLinux() on line 149 in ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/build.py You might want to make sure you have setuptools installed before you do the following: The script isn't finding the path to your python libraries.
