I need to set up Python-3 virtualenv on my openSUSE installation, and I am trying to adapt instructions written for Ubuntu. Here is an excerpt from the original instructions:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev
mkdir ~/Dev
cd ~/Dev
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.8.2.tar.gz
tar xvzf virtualenv-1.8.2.tar.gz
mkdir ~/pyenv
python3 ~/Dev/virtualenv-1.8.2.tar.gz/virtualenv.py ~/pyenv/snark -vvv
# more instructions below
I installed python3 with zypper but could not find any equivalent of python3-dev. I proceeded with the instructions anyway. The last step in the above pasted instructions fails to work. Here is the console log.
rahul@acb70333:~/Dev> python3 ~/Dev/virtualenv-1.8.2/virtualenv.py ~/pyenv/snark -vvv

Unfortunately I am not adept enough at Linux to be able to debug this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
