pyvex_c missing

[jimaf]

I run pip install angr and get a warning that pyvex_c can not be found when building pyvex. I believe there is a missing dependency

@zardus You might know what's going on.

Let me do a pip install angr right now.

[jimaf]

Using..
pip 1.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)

Linux debian-cgc 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.68-1+deb7u5 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[ltfish]

pip install angr works for me (on Ubuntu 14.04). You don't need pyvex_c if you are installing from PyPI, since we have built the pyvex_static.so for you.

If you want to compile pyvex on a different system and requires pyvex_c, you might want to checkout pyvex from https://github.com/angr/pyvex, and perform a manual compilation.

@zardus is the expert, so he should be able to answer this question in depth.

Pip 1.1 is positively ancient and I think we agreed not to support it?

You can get yourself a virtual environment with an up-to-date pip (from the python repos, not debian's) with

mkvirtualenv angr, pip install -U pip, and then pip install angr should have a better chance of success.

Thanks.

Thanks.

After updating pip, and upgrading setup tools, and then installing python-dev and other packages as per the README.md in the angr directory; it work. I was trying to follow the instructions in: https://github.com/angr/angr-doc/blob/master/README.md and this misses the extra packages that need to be installed.

Now that I have it, I will play with it.
