I am trying to install PyFTGL, to display text in my OpenGL project.

I usually install libraries using pip, but 

sudo pip3 install PyFTGL

returns the following error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyFTGL (from versions:)
No matching distribution found for PyFTGL

I also tried easy_install after reading this wiki, but

sudo easy_install PyFTGL

returns the following error:

error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('PyFTGL')

What am I doing wrong ?

I am using python3.6 on my Macbook OSX Yosemite.

EDIT: after installing dependencies (FTGL, freetype, and boost-python) I still seem to miss a library. I get the following error message when running the python setup.py install command from the source code directory:

ld: library not found for -lGLU
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
error: command 'clang++' failed with exit status 1

Although I can already do this in python: from OpenGL.GLU import *

  • before trying `sudo easy_install PyFTGL` didi you download the source code, extracted it and `cd` into the directory where the `setup.py` lies? – FlyingTeller Oct 02 '18 at 11:27
  • Yes I did. But I just noticed that other libraries (FTGL, FreeType, boost::python) are required before attempting to build PyFTGL. I will try installing these first, and edit my question if my problem has changed. – tvoirand Oct 02 '18 at 11:37
