I just updated my machine to Mountain Lion (10.8.1) and am trying to install vim-latex. I have used the suite daily for about 5 years now, but when trying to do a clean install and opening up a .tex file I get the following error message.

"UnitCircleAnalysis.tex" 118L, 4154CTraceback (most recent call last):
   File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 565,

in _init_posix IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h (No such file or directory)

This appears to be a problem with the Python implementation. Are there any suggestions how to fix this?

  • Please format the error neatly in a `code` block to make it more readable – Adrian Cornish Aug 28 '12 at 02:44

  • I'm going to download and install xcode to see if that fixes the issue. Sorry for the poor formatting. – jason.t.stein Aug 28 '12 at 05:03
  • I don't see any answer where you posted. I cross posted because I am not sure if this is an error in Python or in ViM-LaTeX. – jason.t.stein Aug 28 '12 at 13:29
  • @GeorgeStocker I don't see why this is off topic, nor was there an answer at the link you provided. Voting to reopen. – Conner Aug 28 '12 at 13:36
  • @Conner the point is not to repost the same Question to different Stack Exchange sites. That's the point. – George Stocker Aug 28 '12 at 13:38
  • @GeorgeStocker I agree but this is the appropriate place for this question. The alternate question should be handled by the LaTeX moderators and the user should be educated to not cross-post. I appreciate your consideration. – Conner Aug 28 '12 at 13:47

    I have solved the situation by installing XCode and the Command Line Tools. This was apparently the correct forum, as it was a Python issue and not a LaTeX issue. – jason.t.stein Aug 28 '12 at 15:18

    @jason.t.stein You should add that as an answer and not a comment. Comments are meant to clarify the post, not to answer it. – George Stocker Aug 29 '12 at 13:32
