error: ‘write’ reading 18 bytes from a region of size 17

[Jay-null]

Hi, I got a problem with a python script, I did step by step actions, from manual in description:

 git clone --recursive https://github.com/vysheng/tg.git && cd tg
 sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev libconfig-dev libssl-dev 
 lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libevent-dev     libjansson-dev libpython-dev make 

here I received error about libpython-dev: Package 'libpython-dev' has no installation candidate then I found that python package contains libpython-dev nowadays, I just ran apt-get without libpython-dev, then I typed this command:

sudo ./configure
 make

But also tried without sudo, anyway I get this:

config.status: creating Makefile

config.status: config.h is unchanged

Try install python-dev.

Have you not use sudo apt install libpython-dev or sudo apt install python-dev? To not have

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

delete -Werror in Makefile (found in the installation directory).

[DaviSMoura]

Same here. Any luck with this?

[WhiteBlackGoose]

delete -Werror in Makefile (found in the installation directory).

Now it gives another error. I guess without libpython-dev it doesn't work :cry:
