Error during pip install

Error during pip install

[konradkonrad]

Could you please check, if the error persists for you, if you try the buildout way? E.g.:

curl http://downloads.buildout.org/2/bootstrap.py | python (once)
followed by:
bin/buildout (whenever dependencies change)

buildout works fine, but I intended this issue to be about pip install -r requirements.txt as described in the README.rst - if that is not up-to-date anymore, perhaps fix it or remove it.

Alright, I think I could reproduce it. Your problem seems to be permission related. If you re-check your log, do you see a line like:
error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/leveldb.so' ?

If that is the case, you have 3 options (in order of my preference):

1. Be happy with using buildout :)
2. Setup a virtualenv for using pyethereum
3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt as privileged user (e.g. sudo pip install -r requirements.txt)

@nicksavers does 3ce24d2 resolve your issue?

[nicksavers]

Yes it does. sudo pip install -r requirements.txt works
