when installing pyaudio, pip cannot find portaudio.h in /usr/local/include
macos, pyaudio, python
Solution
Since `pyAudio` has `portAudio` as a dependency, you first have to install portaudio.
#for Mac
brew install portaudio
Then try: `pip install pyAudio`. If the problem persists after installing `portAudio`, you can specify the directory path where the compiler will be able to find the source programs (e.g: `portaudio.h`). Since the headers should be in the `/usr/local/include` directory:
pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio
Problem
I'm using mac osx 10.10 As the PyAudio Homepage said, I install the PyAudio using ``` brew install portaudio pip install pyaudio ``` the installation of portaudio seems successful, I can find headers and libs in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib but when I try to install pyaudio, it gives me an error that ``` src/_portaudiomodule.c:29:10: fatal error: 'portaudio.h' file not found #include "portaudio.h" ^ 1 error generated. error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1 ``` actually it is in /usr/local/include why can't it find the file? some answers to similar questions are not working for me(like using virtualenv, or compile it manually), and I want to find a simple way to solve this.
