Trouble installing 0.14.1 on Debian Jessie

[datawisely]

I have trouble installing Blockstack CLI on Debian Jessie.

I ran apt-get update && apt-get install -y python-pip python-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev rng-tools which worked. Then I ran pip install blockstack which threw an error:

In file included from src/curveMath.c:1:0:

src/curveMath.h:6:17: fatal error: gmp.h: No such file or directory

#include <gmp.h>

I tried to install pip install fastecdsa but:

src/curveMath.h:6:17: fatal error: gmp.h: No such file or directory

#include <gmp.h>

             _^_

compilation terminated.

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I found a similar issue here: #274 but that is for MacOSX

Thanks!

@datawisely thanks for reporting -- I'm taking a look

[muneeb-ali]

@datawisely try now -- should be fixed.

I ran pip install blockstack again, but got this again:

In file included from src/curveMath.c:1:0:

src/curveMath.h:6:17: fatal error: gmp.h: No such file or directory

#include <gmp.h>

             _^_

compilation terminated.

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Hey @datawisely! Can you also try apt-get install libgmp-dev? Thanks!

[datawisely]

Thanks. Ok, first I did "apt-get install libgmp-dev" and then "pip install blockstack". Now I get a different error:

ImportError: No module named setuptools_ext

@datawisely try the following:

sudo pip install -U cffi

then run the blockstack install again.

source: pyca/cryptography#2280

[datawisely]

Ok. Did that. It installed without error. But when I try:

blockstack lookup timblee.id

I get:

[muneeb-ali]

can you please paste the output of

$ blockstack info

I want to ensure you're on the latest version of blockstack

[jcnelson]

@muneeb-ali @datawisely I think the version of pip you're using is old. That would explain this:

ImportError: No module named setuptools_ext

This can be fixed with pip install --upgrade pip.

The import error on base58 indicates that not all of the dependencies were installed through pip. If you follow up with pip install --upgrade blockstack once your pip is at the latest version, that should force the dependent packages to get installed.

Since you're doing this on Jessie, you might also have an out-of-date pyopenssl. This can be fixed with pip install --upgrade pyopenssl.
