I have to install pygit2 library on my ubuntu machine. I get the below error when I try "pip install pygit2".

cffi.ffiplatform.VerificationError: CompileError: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Cleaning up... Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/pygit2 Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

Prior to this, I did the following which went fine (http://www.pygit2.org/install.html#quick-install).

$ wget https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/archive/v0.22.0.tar.gz
$ tar xzf v0.22.0.tar.gz
$ cd libgit2-0.22.0/
$ cmake .
$ make
$ sudo make install

I already have libffi6 on my machine .

sudo apt-get install libffi6 libffi-dev

libffi-dev is already the newest version.
libffi6 is already the newest version.

It looks like you need to install the libffi and the its' developing packages,which the pygit2 depends on
