Modify the following files for Troubleshooting 1

$ vi setup.py

Before correction

mecab-config

Revised

/var/tmp/mecab-0.996/mecab-config

Below, the file before modification

#!/usr/bin/env python

from distutils.core import setup,Extension,os
import string

def cmd1(str):
    return os.popen(str).readlines()[0][:-1]

def cmd2(str):
    return string.split (cmd1(str))

setup(name = "mecab-python",
        version = cmd1("mecab-config --version"),
        py_modules=["MeCab"],
        ext_modules = [
                Extension("_MeCab",
                        ["MeCab_wrap.cxx",],
                        include_dirs=cmd2("mecab-config --inc-dir"),
                        library_dirs=cmd2("mecab-config --libs-only-L"),
                        libraries=cmd2("mecab-config --libs-only-l"))
                        ])

Corrected file

#!/usr/bin/env python

from distutils.core import setup,Extension,os
import string

def cmd1(str):
    return os.popen(str).readlines()[0][:-1]

def cmd2(str):
    return string.split (cmd1(str))

setup(name = "mecab-python",
        version = cmd1("/var/tmp/mecab-0.996/mecab-config --version"),
        py_modules=["MeCab"],
        ext_modules = [
                Extension("_MeCab",
                        ["MeCab_wrap.cxx",],
                        include_dirs=cmd2("/var/tmp/mecab-0.996/mecab-config --inc-dir"),
                        library_dirs=cmd2("/var/tmp/mecab-0.996/mecab-config --libs-only-L"),
                        libraries=cmd2("/var/tmp/mecab-0.996/mecab-config --libs-only-l"))
                        ])

Build python-mecab

$ python setup.py build

Install python-mecab

$ python setup.py install

test

Fix for Troubleshooting 2

Make sure you have libmecab.so.2.

$ ls /usr/local/lib/libmecab.so.2
/usr/local/lib/libmecab.so.2

Add / usr / local / lib to ld.so.conf

$ vi /etc/ld.so.conf

Corrected file

`ld.so.conf`


include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib

Reflect the settings in ld.so.conf

$ sudo ldconfig

run mecab-python test

$ cd /var/tmp/mecab-python-0.996
$ python test.py

Execution result
