Using Scrapy with OS X 10.9

Question

I recently updated from OS X 10.8 to OS X 10.9. It looks like the upgrade removed the previous version of Python and all the libraries that were installed. I am trying to re-install Scrapy on OS X 10.9 but I keep getting an error using both pip and easy_install.

Here is the error message I am encountering.

/private/tmp/pip_build_root/lxml/src/lxml/includes/etree_defs.h:9:10: fatal error: 'libxml/xmlversion.h' file not found

#include "libxml/xmlversion.h"

         ^

1 error generated.

error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

Does anyone know to resolve this or have a work around?

what's happening is that you don't have cc for installing libxml. — PepperoniPizza, Oct 23 '13 at 15:29
@fasouto the thread you provided doesn't answer the question.. — aIKid, Oct 23 '13 at 15:52
@alKid In the first one they give a solution that may work(remove MAMP), in the second one somebody recommend installing libxslt-dev. — fasouto, Oct 23 '13 at 16:22
I have never had MAMP installed, and installing that package through homebrew did not resolve the issue. I'm not really sure I know where to go from here, I really want to avoid doing a clean install of OS X if that would even help — greyfox, Oct 23 '13 at 16:35

happened to me too after upgrading to OSX mavericks, install/upgrade the command line tools using xcode-select --install — arkentos, Nov 08 '13 at 07:20
