Virtualenv: Install python-ldap on gentoo

  • 772

I'm trying to install python-ldap on a Gentoo Server. It is running a Django application which I want to use LDAP Auth. Im using virtualenv to manage my python dependencies. I can't install python-ldap with pip in my virtualenv. It always fails to compile the C parts. I tried to emerge openldap but I alway get "sasl.h no such file or directory". Have anyone managed to get python-ldap working on Gentoo? Im using Python 2.7

Regards, Philip

  1. sudo emerge cyrus-sasl
sudo USE="minimal" emerge openldap

    Now you can install python-ldap package from pip.

  2. You need to install dev-libs/cyrus-sasl too as it provides the needed SASL headers. python-openldap compile fine on my machine. Just for information: my openldap USE flags are: "berkdb crypt ipv6 kerberos ssl syslog tcpd"
