I tried downloading latest version from here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ldap#downloads, but it seems thats the same version as it gives same error. Am I missing something here or this version is bugged?
Update I think I should have included this message of error too. This goes before that one:
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
It seems I was missing some packages. This solved the problem:
sudo apt-get install libsasl2-dev python-dev libldap2-dev libssl-dev
Found it here: How do I install python-ldap in a virtualenv on Ubuntu?.
This install needs to be done outside the virtual environment and not within the virtual environment.
