Question

So I've installed all the dependencies and when I do make install , the following error comes:

--- Installing core source structure...
--- Installing Desktop core...
INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/hue make -C desktop install
INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/hue/desktop/core \
        INSTALL_CONF_DIR=/usr/local/hue/desktop/conf \

Answer 1

You need to delete desktop/core/ext-py/Twisted and retry.

Also Hue 2.5 release (which contains this fix) is around the corner (this Monday/Tuesday).
