It seems as if /opt/local/include is not in your include-path. Try something like this:

export CFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include

I'm not sure what the right approach for this would be...

[max-arnold]

What about something similar to Pillow setup.py approach? https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow/blob/master/setup.py

[albertz]

I added a few standard paths (including /opt/local). Can you try again?

[max-arnold]

Installed just fine. Thanks, Albert!
