# uname -a

# python --version
Python 2.6.4

# cd bindings/python/
# splunk cmd python setup.py install

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'install'

Any clues? I'm not so good with python, would be grateful for any assistance!

Thanks!

What errors are you getting when trying to build sigar outside of Splunk?

[svsa]

Yes, I'm trying to add that app actually, and I can't build sigar, so can't "Make sure you've correctly built the python bindings for SIGAR"

Sorry, reading my question back now I realised I hadn't mentioned that. Looks like a useful app, but I simply can't build the python binding - the Java builds fine, I'm using Centos5...
