Installing pylibmc on Ubuntu

Question

When running

pip install pylibmc

on Ubuntu, I get the following error:

_pylibmcmodule.h:42:36: fatal error: libmemcached/me         


        

Answer 1

Zags answer didn't do the trick for me on Ubuntu 13.10. libmemcached-dev had already been installed. I had to also do:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Maybe that will help someone else.
