这招对我很管用:

安装zlib1g-dev

$ sudo apt-get install gcc
$ sudo apt-get install python-dateutil python-docutils python-feedparser python-gdata python-jinja2 python-ldap python-libxslt1 python-lxml python-mako python-mock python-openid python-psycopg2 python-psutil python-pybabel python-pychart python-pydot python-pyparsing python-reportlab python-simplejson python-tz python-unittest2 python-vatnumber python-vobject python-webdav python-werkzeug python-xlwt python-yaml python-zsi

或者试试这个:

$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

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

执行sudo apt-get install python-dev解决了这个错误。

python3:

sudo apt-get install python3-dev \
     build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev \
     libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \
     python3-pip

Python2:

sudo apt-get install python2-dev  \
     build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev \
     libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \
     python2-pip

在ubuntu 14.04中:

sudo apt-file search ffi.h

我选择安装libffi-dev

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev

完美的工作

在我的例子中，是缺少libffi-dev包。

工作:

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
