How do I install hiredis on Solaris 11?

I'm trying to install hiredis on my Joyent SmartMachine running Solaris 11. I keep getting the following error.

In file included from /usr/include/iso/string_iso.h:48:0,

             from /opt/local/gcc47/lib/gcc/x86_64-sun-solaris2.11/4.7.3/include-fixed/string.h:41,

Solution

  • You need to manually override your C compiler while doing the pip install. Try the following command:

    CC="gcc -std=gnu99" pip install hiredis
