I read the developer wiki

and there is a broken link to buildrequires and some assumptions not
made for a newbie and so I'm stuck trying to figure out how to compile
anaconda. My intent is to test a code change that I intend to submit
as a patch for a feature request. So far I've set CVSROOT to
'CVSROOT=: pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/local/CVS' and
checked out the anaconda module. Then, before I changed anything, I
attempted to compile with './py-compile *.py'. But this results in
several python syntax errors which are unexpected since I didn't
change anything yet. Most likely I am doing something wrong. My
system's version of python is: Python 2.3.5 (#2, Oct 16 2006, 19:19:48)
Thanks for your help in advance,

What the BuildRequires section will talk about is the packages that are
needed to build anaconda. In the src you have downloaded there should
be an anaconda.spec file, In this file there must be some lines that
have "BuildRequires:". These lines specify the applications that must
be installed in your system to make the build happen. Just look at the
lines and install everything that is not yet installed and try again. I
haven't meddled much with the loader but your problem might be that you
don't have something installed.
Regards.
