[lsst-dm-stack-users] wget error with certificates [solved]

[Dustin Lang]

Hi,

One for the archives...

While running "newinstall.sh" (as per the Summer 2013 install 
instructions), installing python, I got:

Downloading

Traceback (most recent call last):

This turned out to be a problem with certificates:

> wget 
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-1.4.tar.gz 
--output-document 
/clusterfs/riemann/raid000/dstn/lsst/EupsBuildDir/Linux/python-2.7.6+1/Python-2.7.6/setuptools-1.4.tar.gz

To connect to pypi.python.org insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.
Unable to establish SSL connection.

This can be "solved" by adding to the user's ~/.wgetrc:

check_certificate = off
