Question

Everything,

I am trying to install Python Couchbase lib on my Linux server, but it does not work with "libcouchbase / couchbase.h: There is no such file or directory". I also cannot find which package contains the couchbase.h file. How can i fix this?

Answer 1

Try the following: http://docs.couchbase.com/couchbase-sdk-c-2.3/#downloading-the-couchbase-client-library

So, if you have Ubuntu 12.04:

• sudo wget -O/etc/apt/sources.list.d/couchbase.list http://packages.couchbase.com/ubuntu/couchbase-ubuntu1204.list
• wget -O- http://packages.couchbase.com/ubuntu/couchbase.key | sudo apt-key add -
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install libcouchbase2-libevent libcouchbase-dev

Answer 2

They actually wrote a perl script to make the installation easier and safer, so you can:

• wget http://packages.couchbase.com/clients/c/couchbase-csdk-setup
• sudo perl couchbase-csdk-setup

As explained here .
