I am trying to install Scrapy on a a Mac OS X 10.6.2 machine…
When I try to build one of the dependent modules ( libxml2 )
I am getting the following error:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
I assume I need the gcc compiler … is that easy to install on 10.6? Is there some sort of package I should be installing, so as to not get hunged up like this installing modules in Python?
You need to install the Apple Xcode Development tools. There would be on Apple Developer Connection site or on your Mac OS X installation CDs/DVD. Ensure that the optional components for command line development are installed (“Unix Development” in the Xcode 3.x installer)
