Compilation error with error code 1 in / tmp / pip_build_root / uwsgi

Question

I am trying to follow the tutorial at http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html . I got everything that works, tohttp: //uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html#install-uwsgi-system-wide. I am working with an ubuntu 14.4 instance on amazon EC2:

Without going into my virtualenv, I ran:

sudo pip install uwsgi 

This led to:

 ---------------------------------------- Cleaning up... Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip_build_root/uwsgi/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-64P2dl-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/uwsgi Storing debug log for failure in /home/ubuntu/.pip/pip.log 

The journal has:

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Maybe a little late to answer your question, but my answer could help people later.

I looked back at the magazine and saw these lines.

  [x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -In file included from plugins / python / python_plugin.c: 1: 0:
 plugins / python / uwsgi_python.h: 2: 20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
  #include 
                    ^
 compilation terminated.

It turned out that he could not find Python.h. Installing python2.7-dev fixed the problem for me.

  apt-get install -y python2.7-dev
