Hi,
I have never heard of “ply” before, but it is a lever for Python.
However, it does not matter because we don’t need it anyways…

Hi,
Building current 'bind 9.11.6' suddenly fails with the following errors:
***SNIP*** checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl checking for python... no checking for python3... no checking for python3.7... no checking for python3.6... no checking for python3.5... no checking for python3.4... no checking for python3.3... no checking for python3.2... no checking for python2... no checking for python2.7... no checking for Python support... no configure: error: Python required for dnssec-keymgr make: *** [bind:76: /usr/src/log/bind-9.11.6] Error 1 ***SNAP***
We have python 2.7 which should be found here. Probably bind is built before Python is built?
It is. I tried building it *after* Python, but: see below.
Have a look in config.log what went wrong during detection...
***SNIP*** ... checking for python2... /usr/bin/python2 checking if /usr/bin/python2 is python2 version >= 2.7 or python3 version >= 3.2... yes checking Python module 'argparse'... yes checking Python module 'ply'... no checking for python2.7... /usr/bin/python2.7 checking if /usr/bin/python2.7 is python2 version >= 2.7 or python3 version >= 3.2... yes checking Python module 'argparse'... yes checking Python module 'ply'... no checking for Python support... no configure: error: Python required for dnssec-keymgr make: *** [bind:76: /usr/src/log/bind-9.11.6] Error 1 ... ***SNAP***
What is meant with "module 'ply'"? I can't find it.
Sorry, I'm not sure: do we need 'dnssec-keymgr'? Or should I compile bind with '--without-python’?
No, we do not need that tool. We don’t use bind to sign any DNSSEC zones.
Ok. Adding '--without-python'.
Excerpt from 'configure'-help: "# Python is also optional but required by default so that dnssec-keymgr # gets installed unless explicitly prevented by the user using # --without-python.”
I guess disabling works.
Yes. It does:
***SNIP*** ... checking for Python support... disabled ... ***SNAP***
;-)
Best, Matthias
