pip install gevent mountain lion fails

Question

I am having trouble installing gevent on a Mountain Lion. I actually want to install Deis and gevent is requirement.

When I run pip install gevent I get this log:

What can be the cause of this error and how can I solve it? There are another way to install gevent?

Answer 1

It looks like you have installed Python using Homebrew and something is very wrong with some of your system binaries (or at least with your PATH environment variable).

The best solution is fix the warnings that brew doctor outputs. This will ensure that your brewed pip will work properly (and other brewed things).

I'm on Mountain Lion, using a brewed Python and I just successfully installed Deis using pip install Deis. There were a bunch of compiler warnings, but it seems to have been installed properly.
