Installing PyFTGL: distribution not found

178 views Asked by At

I am trying to install PyFTGL, to display text in my OpenGL project.

I usually install libraries using pip, but

sudo pip3 install PyFTGL

returns the following error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyFTGL (from versions:)
No matching distribution found for PyFTGL

I also tried easy_install after reading this wiki, but

sudo easy_install PyFTGL

returns the following error:

error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('PyFTGL')

What am I doing wrong ?

I am using python3.6 on my Macbook OSX Yosemite.


EDIT: after installing dependencies (FTGL, freetype, and boost-python) I still seem to miss a library. I get the following error message when running the python setup.py install command from the source code directory:

ld: library not found for -lGLU
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
error: command 'clang++' failed with exit status 1

Although I can already do this in python: from OpenGL.GLU import *
