psycopg: Python.h: No such file or directory

Question

I\'m compiling psycopg2 and get the following error: Python.h: No such file or directory

How to compile it, Ubuntu12 x64.

Answer 1

This is a dependency issue.

I resolved this issue on Ubuntu using apt-get. Substitute it with a package manager appropriate to your system.

For any current Python version:

sudo apt-get install python-dev

For alternative Python version:

sudo apt-get install python-dev

For example 3.5 as alternative:

sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev
