installing pylinkgrammar on mac

I am encountering an error when attempting to install pylinkgrammar on a Mac:

pylinkgrammar/link_grammar_wrap.c:2955:10: fatal error: 'link-grammar/link-includes.h' file     not found

#include <link-grammar/link-includes.h>


1 error generated.

error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

The same problem is described here: Missing file when installing pylinkgrammar

But the solutions apply only for Ubuntu, since MacPorts does not have the packages liblink-grammar4 and liblink-grammar4-dev.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have installed link-grammar using MacPorts. This error appears nonetheless.

Solution

  • It seems the MacPorts package doesn't include the development headers.

    I was able to successfully build pylinkgrammar against the link-grammar package from homebrew though:

    And then install pylinkgrammar as usual.
