Questions[compiling](ubuntu)

I'm trying to install the mitmproxy package via pip like this:

$ sudo pip install mitmproxy

It terminates with following error message:

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fno-strict-aliasing -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/_openssl.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/_openssl.o

build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/_openssl.c:391:30: fatal error: openssl/opensslv.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

After this it's somewhat installed, at least I can uninstall it afterwards.

 $ mitmproxy

leads to

I would like ./configure to link to a library and some include files. My library is stored in /home/foo/sw/lib/ and my files are stored in /home/foo/sw/include.

./configure --help throws out the following:

Some influential environment variables:

  CC           C compiler command
  CFLAGS       C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS      linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a 
               nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  LIBS         libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
  CPPFLAGS     (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if 
               you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CPP          C preprocessor

I have tried various combinations:

./configure --prefix=/home/foo/sw -I</home/foo/sw/include> -L</home/foo/sw/lib/>
./configure --prefix=/home/foo/sw -I=/home/foo/sw/include -L=/home/foo/sw/lib/
./configure --prefix=/home/foo/sw -I/home/foo/sw/include -L/home/foo/sw/lib/
etc..

But I can't seem to get the syntax right. If anyone can help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I am a complete Linux/Ubuntu noob, so I apologize for any dumb portions of this question or follow up ones.

I am trying to get a program that my software engineering class's group wrote onto my home computer. At school, we have Linux, and it will compile and run fine there. I downloaded VMWare, installed Ubuntu on a virtual machine, and now am trying to get my program to open.

When ever I try to run my make file however, I get an error that says

gcc -I../include -pthread -O1 -c rain.c
In file included from rain.c:19:0:
../include/GL/glfw.h:176:21: fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [rain.o] Error 1

Would anyone happen to know why it can't find this file, when it can on my school computers? And what I'd need to do to download it or get it in the right spot?

I want to install one package named speech_tools-2.1-release.tar.gz. After I run command ./configure in this package, it show me a message:

Configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH  
See 'config.log' for more details  

What do I do?

With autotools I get this:
