I have installed squid and its running fine
Now i am trying to install videocache
First ii did # python setup.py install [in videocache-1.9.1 folder]
But at that time python-iniparse was not installed
I then installed iniparse, but now when i try to do # python setup.py
install i get the following errors:
vpro:/home/ztel/videocache-1.9.1# python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):

KeyError: 'getpwnam(): name not found: squid'
This software appears to expect that the account "squid" is used as the
cache_effective_user. I'd change the setup.py script to use the
cache_effective_user that matches my system (and file a bug report with
the videocache maintainer to have this account automatically deduced
from the squid.conf file).
Your other option would be to create a "squid" account, change
cache_effective_user to "squid" and change permissions for the files the
Squid needs accordingly.
vpro:/home/ztel/videocache-1.9.1#
and here is the videocache setup log

Please tell me how i can overcome this.
Thank you very much
