I would like to try phenix.rosetta_refine and it is said in the online tutorial that the phenix should be built from source code in linux. However I ran into some errors, and I am too far from a linux export to figure it out. I am using Debian Wheezy with kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64. I download the source installer (phenix-installer-1.9-1683-source.tar) and run the installer as:

# ./install --prefix=/usr/local/src --nproc=8 --no-gui (it seems from README-DEV that there is no --python-shared flag as described in the online tutorial)

After while, I receive the following error message:

I looked into Imaging_install_log, and at the end, I have the following errors:

*************************************************************************************************************************

Could anybody help me out?

Thank you so much,
