I have to install pygit2 library on my ubuntu machine. I get the below error when I try "pip install pygit2".
cffi.ffiplatform.VerificationError: CompileError: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
Cleaning up... Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/pygit2 Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log
Prior to this, I did the following which went fine (http://www.pygit2.org/install.html#quick-install).
$ wget https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/archive/v0.22.0.tar.gz
$ tar xzf v0.22.0.tar.gz
$ cd libgit2-0.22.0/
$ cmake .
$ make
$ sudo make install
I already have libffi6 on my machine .
sudo apt-get install libffi6 libffi-dev
