fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory – not solved with python-devel
Question:
This issue is similar to previous ones, but cannot be solve with same suggestions.
I am using Centos 7. On a virtual environment running Python 3.5 (latest stable version), I am trying to install psycopg2 by using pip3/pip/easy_install.
In all scenarios, I get the following error:
fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
I read previous threads:
psycopg: Python.h: No such file or directory
fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
but the solutions don’t work. Any idea?
Answers:
If you are installing from source there are several system dependencies that should be fulfilled:
http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/install.html#install-from-source
But Python.h is definitely coming from the python-devel (and python3X-devel) package so if it’s not found there might be something misconfigured on your system. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Search-Path.html
Alternatively, you could use the system package using the package manager so that it solves dependencies for you.
yum install python35-psycopg2 # python-psycopg2 for python 2
