Re: [mezzanine-users] Error encountered during pip install

[Stephen McDonald]

Have a look here at Mezzanine's bundled fabfile where it installs all the system-level packages required:

https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/project_template/fabfile.py#L337-338

You'll see python-dev which a lack of is what's causing the current error you're getting - from that list you'll probably also want libjpeg-dev too.

Hi, I am attempting a fresh Mezzanine install on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS using pip via sudo:

pip install -U mezzanine

It gets pretty far along, but somewhere after or during the Pillow installation, it encounters an error:

    running build_ext
    building '_imaging' extension
    creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/libImaging
    gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -DHAVE_LIBZ -IlibImaging -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu -c _imaging.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/_imaging.o
    _imaging.c:75:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
