File not found error when pip installing python-lzo


I'm trying to install python-lzo on mac OS Sierra. I have used brew to install the c lzo library:

brew update
brew install lzo

I then try and install python-lzo using a virtual environment and pip:

$ virtualenv ./env
$ . ./env/bin/activate
$ pip install python-lzo

Which gives me the following output:

    ----------------------------------------

The lzo1x.h file does exist here: /usr/local/opt/lzo/include/lzo/ or with the brew command:

$ ls $(brew --prefix lzo)/include/lzo/

I have then tried to set the CFLAGS envronment variables, but still have the same error:

$ export EXTRA_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/lzo/include && export EXTRA_CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/lzo/include && export EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/lzo/lib && pip install

And in desperation:

$ export EXTRA_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/lzo/include/lzo && export EXTRA_CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/lzo/include/lzo && export EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/lzo/lib && pip install python-lzo

Still the same error message, any ideas?

-- Updated--
Also tried passing the variables directly into pip:

pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/opt' --global-option='-I/usr/local/opt/lzo/include/lzo' --global-option='-L/usr/local/opt/lzo/lib' python-lzo

This time I get a slightly different error:

  cmdoptions.check_install_build_global(options)

Many thanks

Big thanks @daphtdazz your solution (see below) worked! I have modified it slightly to use the brew --cellar command to get the location of the lzo files:

export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$(brew --cellar lzo)/2.09/include/lzo:$(brew --cellar lzo)/2.09/include/ export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib pip install python-lzo


Solution

  • I got the same results as you, and eventually this worked for me:

    export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/lzo/2.09/include/lzo:/usr/local/Cellar/lzo/2.09/include 
    export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib 
    pip install python-lzo
    

    (Obviously you may need to tweak those depending on what version of the lzo brew distribution you have installed.)

    Which answered the question for me, but I don't really understand why those aren't configured correctly...

    I have the Xcode developer tools installed though as well, and I think they've conflicted with brew and pip before, so maybe that's it. I'll keep having a look and if I work it out I'll update this answer.

    Edit

    Having a look at the setup.py file for python-lzo it seems there's a bit of weirdness going on, in particular I'm concerned that on Windows both include paths are being added, which suggests the lzo source distribution isn't very well arranged. But there doesn't seem to be a designed way of achieving this on macOS with a brew install, so I think the include part of it at least is best solved with the extra environment variable.
