Unable to install pyrocksdb against RocksDB master

[Iulian7]

I followed the instructions from here: http://pyrocksdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html

When I try pip install git+git://github.com/stephan-hof/pyrocksdb.git I get the following output with error:

I tried to checkout various versions of RocksDB (3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9) and still no luck.

I am using Python 3.4 on a 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04.

Hmm can you double check that the include environment variable is set correctly ? rocksdb/slice.h is the first file being included in pyrocksdb and present in rocksdb since ever. So I believe its a problem in your build environment.

Install worked well for me on OS X using homebrew.

The creator of this ticket did not reply for a long while, furthermore I cannot reproduce the issue. Hence I will close this issue.
