when installing pyaudio, pip cannot find portaudio.h in /usr/local/include

问题

I'm using mac osx 10.10 As the PyAudio Homepage said, I install the PyAudio using

brew install portaudio 
pip install pyaudio

the installation of portaudio seems successful, I can find headers and libs in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib but when I try to install pyaudio, it gives me an error that

src/_portaudiomodule.c:29:10: fatal error: 'portaudio.h' file not found
#include "portaudio.h"
         ^
1 error generated.
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

actually it is in /usr/local/include why can't it find the file? some answers to similar questions are not working for me(like using virtualenv, or compile it manually), and I want to find a simple way to solve this.

回答1:

Since pyAudio has portAudio as a dependency, you first have to install portaudio.

brew install portaudio

Then try: pip install pyAudio. If the problem persists after installing portAudio, you can specify the directory path where the compiler will be able to find the source programs (e.g: portaudio.h). Since the headers should be in the /usr/local/include directory:

pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio

On Ubuntu builds:

sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio

For Python3:

sudo apt-get install python3-pyaudio

On Raspbian:

sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio

You have to install portaudio first then link that file. Only then you can find that header file (i.e, portaudio.h). To install portaudio in mac by using HomeBrew program use following commands.

brew install portaudio
brew link portaudio
pip install pyaudio

sudo is not needed if you're admin. We should refrain using sudo as it messes up lots of permissions.

on Centos:

yum install -y portaudio portaudio-devel && pip install pyaudio

For me on 10.10.5 the paths were under /opt/local. I had to add /opt/local/bin to my /etc/paths file. And the command line that worked was

sudo pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/opt/local/include' --global-option='-L/opt/local/lib' pyaudio

Just for the record for folks using MacPorts and not Homebrew:

$ [sudo] port install portaudio
$ pip install pyaudio --global-option="build_ext"  --global-option="-I/opt/local/include" --global-option="-L/opt/local/lib"

First you can use brew to install portaudio .

brew install portaudio

Then try to find the portaudio path sudo find / -name "portaudio.h"

In my case it is /usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/include .

Run the below to install pyaudio

pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/lib' pyaudio
