~mediagoblin/mediagoblin#31: Problem with executing configure file

I am trying to set a mediagoblin server up according its own tutorial. When I want to run ./configure, I get error below:

checking for python3... python3
./configure: line 1934: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./configure: line 1934: `    '''

I have gotten the code with git clone --depth=1 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/mediagoblin.git --branch stable --recursive from its official repo. More details: OS: Debian

I think there is a missing part in the file.

Hi ~rezahoss. Sorry to hear MediaGoblin has been misbehaving for you. This sounds like the same issue as identified in #12 where MediaGoblin's installation failes on Autoconf > 2.69. Unfortunately we don't yet have a solution for this, but our eventual solution will likely involve removing the ./configure and make steps entirely and using a more typical Python installation. Please keep an eye on #12.

~sturm referenced this from #12 3 years ago

Thank you. I took a look to #12. There is a reference to #14. I could not understand how can I solve the problem. Now should I insttall PyConfigure?

NOTE: I am sorry for taking your time.
