Troubleshooting pymssql installation on Ubuntu

Ozzie 6:39 PM , , No comments

Installing pymssql on Ubuntu 13.10 was not an easy task. Trying to install directly from the .egg file gave an UCS2-UCS4 incompatibility error. So I installed it from source.

After installing the FreeTDS packages, the process was as follows:

  1. Get source from https://github.com/pymssql/pymssql
  2. Error: _mssql.c:8:22: fatal error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
  3. Install Python development libraries: sudo apt-get install python-dev
  4. Error: _mssql.c:314:22: fatal error: sqlfront.h: No such file or directory
  5. Install freeTDS development libraries: sudo apt-get install freetds-dev
  6. Install pymssql from the unzipped source directory: sudo python setup.py install
Success!
