Error building uwsgi with pip in virtual environme

Question

I am getting errors when I try to install uwsgi in my virtual environment in my Centos VPS. Ultimately, I cannot install uwsgi.

I am using :

 pip install uwsgi

and also :

pathtovirtualenv/bin/pip install uwsgi

I get the following output on the terminal:

[e-mail] [~]# ~/thecanonworks/env/bin/pip install uwsgi

update:

I have tried a number of different things and still can't get uwsgi installed.

Answer 1

Try to install the following packages before installing uwsgi:

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential python-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev

Answer 2

On CentOS 6.4 I had to install dev tools first:

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
