Error occurs when Install scrapy in python virtualenv use pip

Question

system info :

Ubuntu 14.10
Linux vagrant-ubuntu-trusty 3.16.0-23-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 21 17:56:17 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I first install virtualenv in ubuntu

sudo pip install virtualenv
virtualenv scrapy-env
cd scrapy-env/
source bin/activate
pip install scrapy

then I get this error:

  running build_ext

Any suggestions that could help me fix it?

Please read the [installation docs](https://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/install.html#ubuntu-12-04-or-above)! — Klaus D., Dec 21 '17 at 05:59

You don't have Python developer package installed. Try installing them

sudo apt-get install python-dev # for python2.x installs
sudo apt-get install python3-dev  # for python3.x installs

I get this error after run `sudo apt-get install python-dev `: `The following packages have unmet dependencies: python-dev : Depends: python (= 2.7.5-5ubuntu3) but 2.7.8-1 is to be installed Depends: libpython-dev (= 2.7.5-5ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed Depends: python2.7-dev (>= 2.7.5-1~) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.` – code.g Dec 21 '17 at 06:10
