Can't build pyethereum.

redmage

Hi all,

I hope this is the right forum in which to ask this question. I'm attempting to build pyethereum on my X86-64 Ubuntu 13,10 system. I ran pip install -r requirements.txt. Unfortunately, the installation fails with the following errors:

In file included from leveldb_ext.cc:6:0:

leveldb_ext.h:8:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

#include

^

compilation terminated.

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Could this be an environment issue? I.e. it's looking for the Python.h file somewhere and can't find in in the PATH? Note that I'm running with Python 2.75

It means you need the tools to build C extensions to Python. 'sudo apt-get install libpython2.7-dev' will probably be enough.
