I'm trying to install ReportLab 2.4 on a 10.04.2 server with virtualenv. In the ReportLab_2_4 folder I use:
python setup.py install
and the error I get:
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

As Skimantas said, I think you should install python-dev. sudo apt-get install python-dev
and I was able to install reportlab into my home directory with command "pip install reportlab
" without sudo as mentioned earlier answer. I need only root access to install python-dev.
Shortly..
I installed virtualenv
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install virtualenv
virtualenv --no-site-packages virtual01
I installed
sudo apt-get install python-dev
I activate my virtual environment just to be sure...
source ~/virtual01/bin/activate
cd ~/virtual01/bin
pip install reportlab
And that's it.
(I just recorded what I did in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS)
I got a very similar error trying to install Reportlab on Mac OS X, which I'd recently upgraded to 10.9. Run Xcode, agree the the new license agreement, and try again.
On the outside chance anyone is deploying reportlab to AWS EC2 / ElasticBeanstalk...My solution is below.
deactivate && sudo pip install reportlab
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/reportlab /opt/python/run/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
It's super hacky, but it's a workaround to get it running on my django stack with AWS ElasticBeanstalk. I just just modified .ebextensions/02_python.config to execute the above before continuing further, i think it is set to execute 2nd, after using pip to install requirements.txt to the venv.
