I saw xcffib is a prerequisite so I tried to install it with:

~# pip install xcffib

But I got this error message and I don't understand what 'cc' is, I installed gcc.

Update:

I tried to export the location of my libffi-dev headers 

#echo $LIBFFI_LIBS 
-L/opt/csw/lib -lffi
#echo $LIBFFI_CFLAGS
-I/opt/csw/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include

And runing 

CC="gcc -std=gnu99" pip install xcffib

or

CC="gcc -std=gnu99" pip install cffi

still doesn't find the header: fatal error: ffi.h: No such file or director

  • I would try `CC="gcc -std=gnu99 -I/opt/csw/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include"` – jlliagre Feb 10 '17 at 10:14

    Looks like `pip` insist using the Studio compiler (`cc`) and not the Gnu one (`gcc`). This link might help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37833267/what-repository-needs-to-be-enabled-for-sun-studio-12-5 – jlliagre Feb 10 '17 at 10:38
  • I installed the studio compiler 12.4 and it worked, thank you – osmingo Feb 10 '17 at 12:51
  • Thanks for the update, converting my comment to an answer to help future people having the same issue. – jlliagre Feb 10 '17 at 12:59

It looks like pip and/or cairocffi are expecting the Oracle Studio compiler to be installed.

Installing it fixes the issue you are having.
