Trying to install the source for forge and it is giving me no ends of trouble.

 

Running lubuntu OS

 

This is the message in the terminal.

 

 

jonathan@jonathan-Satellite-A105:~$ cd forge

jonathan@jonathan-Satellite-A105:~/forge$ python install.py

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

Edit: Problem solved. Apparently re-downloading and re-installing Python 2.7.5 fixed the issue.

Also just tried the latest build instead of the recommended build. Exactly the same.

 

This just has to be a problem with python.
