I'm using Mac with latest OS X update. I've trying to install PyCrypto over Terminal but I'm getting error which is shown on image below. The command I used is sudo pip install pycrypto. Can you please help me with this issue? How do I resolve this? Thanks for your answers.

enter image description here

Here is the error:

macfive:Desktop admin$ sudo pip install pycrypto
The directory '/Users/admin/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

Error is to big to copy it all. So I just copied the beginning and the end.

  • Please copy paste the error text instead of a screenshot. – Railslide Sep 19 '16 at 08:03
  • I've updated my question and added error text. – MattCodes Sep 19 '16 at 08:13
  • you can download it from following link https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto and try to install with python setup.py install. Use Readme file for more details. – abhijeetmote Sep 19 '16 at 08:30
  • I've tried that and it wont work. Getting the same error. – MattCodes Sep 19 '16 at 08:36
  • Although it's on linux, have you seen this: [gcc-4-2-failed-with-exit-status-1](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8473066/gcc-4-2-failed-with-exit-status-1)? – nostradamus Sep 19 '16 at 08:38
  • Yes, thank you very much for this link. It lead me to the right solution. I had to run `export CC=gcc` and `export CXX=g++`. I've been using the clang compiler, not gcc. – MattCodes Sep 19 '16 at 08:50

You need to install the Python development files. I think it will work. Try 

apt-get install autoconf g++ python2.7-dev

Or

sudo apt-get install python-dev

Either one of the above and then this below one 

pip install pycrypto
