error: command ‘cc’ failed with exit status 1; Can’t install PIL, Pillow, MySql and other packages in Mavericks.

If you are getting the following error when installing python packages using PIP or easy_install, don’t worry. You have come to the right place for solution.

First make sure you have developer tools installed. You can install them by executing the following command in terminal

xcode-select --install

The clang errors are due to changes introduced in Xcode 5.1 and due to the way the Apple-supplied system Python 2.7 is built. You can tell them to shut up by adding these environment variables in terminal.

export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
