PyV8 - error during installation

Question

I would like to install PyV8. I install it via:

I receive error message:

I have installed python3-dev latest. How should I solved this issue? It looks like some header missing, but how should I know what to install?

Answer 1

I solved by applying the following sets of commands. My Python is 2.7.15.

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-imaging python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev
sudo easy_install greenlet
sudo easy_install gevent
git clone https://github.com/buffer/pyv8.git
cd pyv8
sudo python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
