@raymondEhlers : sorry for the delay, I think you are simply missing the python3.7 devel package and as a result `PythonLibs` are not found and the installation is incomplete and hence the `../bindings/python: No such file or directory` if I do following: ``` docker run -it --rm ubuntu:bionic /bin/bash apt-get update apt-get -y install python3.7 python3-pip python3.7-venv python3.7-dev pkg-config cmake uuid-dev libssl-dev libz-dev python3.7 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install wheel pip install xrootd ``` everything works like a charm, however if I omit the `python3.7-dev` package I can exactly reproduce your problem. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
