Installed it the other way and found out the problem - missing python3 
headers.

Now installed but without any docs - seems .pyc files missing.


My system has two versions of python installed 2.7 fully (ish) and 3.4 named 
as
python3.4 or python3.4m .

Next is to read your post regarding.  The idea is to back up the entire Mageia
/ directory but without the contents of /mnt, /proc, /dev etc.
