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

Answer 2

Answer for Ubuntu users:

sudo apt install libmemcached-dev zlib1g-dev

Answer 3

libmemcached may also be installed using Homebrew.

brew install libmemcached

After that, pip install pylibmc worked for me without needing to specify any additional arguments.

Answer 4

this code is worked for me

  sudo apt-get install libmemcached-dev zlib1g-dev

  LIBMEMCACHED=/opt/local pip install pylibmc

Answer 5

I solved this issue by checking where memcached is installed

$ which memcached
/usr/local/bin/memcached

and then setting LIBMEMCACHED environment variable before pip install:

$ export LIBMEMCACHED=/usr/local
$ pip install pylibmc

Answer 6

I have the same problem because i have installed MEMCACHED and not LIBMEMCACHED, so, to resolve:

brew uninstall memcached #to remove wrong package

brew install libmemcached #install correct lib

pip install pylibmc

Its Works for me!
