Error when install pylibmc using pip

Question

Hello when I attempt to install pylibmc on OSX Lion using pip I get the following error:

./_pylibmcmodule.h:42:10: fatal error: \'libmemcached/memcached.h\' file         


        

Answer 1

i fixed this by installing memcached from port

you should install first macports from http://www.macports.org/

then run this command

sudo port install memcached

after that download the pylibmc from the pypi http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pylibmc extract .tar.gz file then

python setup.py install --with-libmemcached=/opt/local
