I suspect this is due to the configure script from the upstream sources expecting the location of the header.py to be /usr/lib64/xulrunner-devel-44.0/sdk/bin/header.py while the Fedora rpm of xulrunner installs it at a different location, more specifically at /usr/lib64/xulrunner/header.py [0] You could try to modify the respective locations at the configure.in to make it consistent with the Fedora packaging. You could also try to contact the gecko-maint team regarding your issue, they might be able to provide more info [1] [0] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/xulrunner.git/tree/xulrunner.spec#n465 [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/gecko-maint/ Regards, Charalampos Stratakis Associate Software Engineer Python Maintenance Team, Red Hat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cătălin George Feștilă" <catalinfest@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Development discussions related to Fedora" <devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, python-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, March 10, 2017 4:59:25 PM Subject: Re: try to build the python module: PyXPCOM with errors I try to build the pyxpcom nope [root@localhost mythcat]# dnf install xulrunner-devel Last metadata expiration check: 2:50:44 ago on Fri Mar 10 15:05:41 2017.
