Unable to Build Python Library

[tscanlon]

So I'm stuck trying to build and package python_seco_librange (what I want), librange and libcrange. I tried the non python libraries as an attempt to be able to build the python one.

In each I resolved missing commands mentioned in errors from running multipkg -d deb . in each of those three folders. In python_seco_librange I am stuck on

git/range/python_seco_librange$ multipkg -p deb .
Build failed: error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrange
 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm fairly sure its stuck looking for librange.so and librange.a but I have no idea where to get those.

So as an attempt to solve that I started trying to build libcrange which ends up with

git/range/libcrange$ multipkg -p deb .
Build failed: byacc: e - line 13 of "/tmp/oc_d6p8UkL/build/src/range_parser.y", syntax error

Lastly when trying to build librange I get

git/range/librange$ multipkg -p deb .
Build failed: /usr/lib/ocaml/caml/memory.h:227:28: note: in expansion of macro ‘CAMLreturnT’

I'm running ubuntu 14.04 LTS and pulled all the various commands these were erroring on from the official ubuntu mirrors.
