Installing issue

[ZSenZhang]

Hi there, I am trying to install this tool on my server which is Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. However, I just got

src/_pyipmeta_ipmeta.c:78:50: error: ‘IPMETA_DS_NONE’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘IPMETA_DS_MAX’?
     if ((dsid = ipmeta_ds_name_to_id(dsname)) == IPMETA_DS_NONE) {
                                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                                  IPMETA_DS_MAX

src/_pyipmeta_ipmeta.c:215:7: error: too few arguments to function ‘ipmeta_lookup’
   if (ipmeta_lookup(self->ipm, pyaddrstr, 0, self->recordset) < 0) {
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from src/_pyipmeta_provider.h:27:0,
                 from src/_pyipmeta_ipmeta.c:23:

Basically these two errors and some warnings. I was wondering if I did something wrong? I have strictly followed the instruction to install python-setuptools, python-dev and libmeta.
Could anyone give me some suggestions?
Thanks!

This looks like you might have an older version of libipmeta installed.
I would suggest either installing the latest version of libipmeta (https://github.com/CAIDA/libipmeta/releases/tag/v3.0.0) and then trying again with the latest version of pyipmeta.

Alternatively, you could trying installing this from apt:

curl https://pkg.caida.org/os/ubuntu/boostrap.sh | bash
sudo apt install python-pyipmeta

which should make the install process much easier.
