how to install urwid 1.1.1 on CentOS 6.4?

Question

To install urwid 1.1.1 on CentOS 6.4 I already tried:

yum install python-urwid

which installs urwid 0.9.9.

Then I manually downloaded urwid 1.1.1 and run:

cd /mnt/hgfs/Shared/urwid-1.1.1
python ./setup.py install

like the online manual says.

Which leads to the following error:

[root@localhost ~]# cd /mnt/hgfs/Shared/urwid-1.1.1
[root@localhost urwid-1.1.1]# python ./setup.py install

Python 2.6 and gcc 4.4.7 are currently installed.

Could any one please explain the error and suggest a solution?

Thank you!

yum install python-devel应该可以解决您的问题，因为缺少的是编译所需的Python.h C头文件。
