Can't install Dropbox SDK on Arduino Yun

Hi, sorry if this is a very dumb question but I have very little Linux knowledge and I wonder if you could help me. (I've tried the Arduino forum with no answer so far. I will post the solution there once I got it working because I think Dropbox & Arduino are a killer couple...)

 

I'm trying to install Dropbox SDK on an Arduino Yun using the following 

 

opkg install distribute
opkg install python-openssl
easy_install pip
 
everything goes OK till this point, then I issue
 
pip install dropbox
 
and this is what I got in return

Not sure what am I doing wrong and any help will be greatly appreciated.
  • It looks like this is an issue with 'pip' itself, and not Dropbox, so I'm afraid I can't be of help. It looks like the error message links to some informational pages though, so I recommend reviewing those, and contacting the support or community for pip or PyPI for further help.
  • Thanks Greg, will follow your suggestion and post any progress (if any)
