How to install GExiv2 on a virtualenv?

exiv2, image, python, python-2.7, python-imaging-library

Solution

Ok, I was looking a better solution, but finally I made a symbolic link inside my virtualenv lib directory and it imports `GExiv2` without errors :

$ cd virtualenv
$ cd lib/python2.7/
$ ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi

Problem

I installed this library with: ``` sudo apt-get install libexiv2-dev libgexiv2-2 gir1.2-gexiv2-0.4 ``` And I was able to load the Python module: ``` from gi.repository import GExiv2 ``` The problem comes with virtualenv. I need to use this library inside a virtualenv and I don't know how to install it, since there is no `pip` package for this. I tried to make a symbolic link between the system wide installed library and the virtualenv lib folder with no results: ``` lrwxrwxrwx 1 dnavarro dnavarro 25 jul 4 15:42 girepository-1.0 -> /usr/lib/girepository-1.0 ``` Thanks for your help!
