Hi,

I try to install OSQA through proxy on Ubuntu. So, I face the error in the following step,

sudo easy_install South django django-debug-toolbar markdown \\\\
    html5lib python-openid

The error is,

Searching for South
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/South/
Download error: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found!
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/South/
Download error: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found!
Couldn't find index page for 'South' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/
Download error: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found!
No local packages or download links found for South
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('South')

But, I set the HTTP_PROXY environment value.

export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.xxx.com:8080/

Do I have mistake?

Thanks, Takeshi Hosokawa

The problem is that the Django South package couldn't be found. I'm not sure whether this is related with the proxy environment you're using, but you can try downloading one their archived releases (http://www.aeracode.org/releases/south/) and install it using:

sudo python setup.py install

Thank you for your answer.

I will use wget and setup.py instead of easy_install.

Thanks, Takeshi Hosokawa
