I have received this error on two different machines now (Mint & Ubtuntu).
I have been following all the steps on this page:
https://bitcoinarmory.com/building-armory-from-source/[1]
However when I get to the step "Make" it appears to chug along just fine until the very end when receive this error and it stops:
g++: error: /usr/lib/libpython2.7.a: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [swig] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/BitcoinArmory/cppForSwig' make: *** [all] Error 2
I also noticed that the person who made a comment at the bottom of this page also received the same error but hasn't received a solution:

Thanks for your help.
