trying to install pymssql on ubuntu 12.04 using pip
Solution 1:
Make sure you have the python-dev package installed (needed to compile packages with native bindings (thanks to @ravihemnani).
Then you'll need to install the FreeTDS development package (freetds-dev) before trying to install pymssql with pip:
$ sudo apt-get install freetds-dev
and then, in your virtualenv or wherever you wish to install it:
$ pip install pymssql
Solution 2:
Apart from freetds-dev, you need to install python-dev as well as follow.
sudo apt-get install python-dev
Or else, you will again face some error.
Solution 3:
For those on OpenSuse (and related OSes):
zypper in freetds-devel
pip install pymssql
Solution 4:
On Mac
brew install [email protected]
brew link --force [email protected]
pip install pymssql
