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

Hit the same error with macOS High Sierra, Python3.6 installed with brew. Solution for me was to export these flags, mentioned in this comment: Error when install pylibmc using pip

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"

After that, pip install run just fine.
