 === Why This Happens ===
 
-To decide what to do about this, you have to understand that the Tahoe-LAFS software itself is written in 100% pure Python and never gets compiled. However, Tahoe-LAFS uses several libraries which themselves contain native C or C++ code that needs to be compiled. Currently there are six such libraries that Tahoe-LAFS uses: {{{Twisted}}}, {{{pyOpenSSL}}}, {{{pycrypto}}}, {{{pycryptopp}}}, {{{zfec}}}, and {{{zope.interface}}}.

 To understand why the compile failure happens and how to get past it, you have to understand that {{{python setup.py build}}} tries ''three'' different methods of satisfying Tahoe-LAFS' need for its libraries, and only if all three methods fail does it emit an error message like this.
