'Error while installing uWSGI on mac

I need uWSGI for running a django project. So when i'm trying to install uWSGI, its giving me an error saying "Exception: you need a C compiler to build uWSGI". But mac comes with gcc compiler.

I've downloaded uWSGI from "http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/WikiStart#Getit" and tried to install by the command "python setup.py install"

This is the error i got while installing uWSGI

Solution 1:^[1]

gcc already installed, just export CC=gcc will be ok.

Solution 2:^[2]

distutils is probably returning something like "gcc-4.2" instead of plain old "gcc".

With sudo, etc., you probably want to do something like this:

sudo CC=gcc pip install uwsgi

Solution 3:^[3]

Install CommandLine Tools

$xcode-select --install

Then run

$pip install uwsgi

Solution 4:^[4]

first install gcc compiler

xcode-select --install

Solution 5:^[5]

Install Xcode in your mac than select command line tool in Xcode preferences. It works for me by doing pip install uwsgi

Solution 6:^[6]

Use pip with `sudo`

sometimes pip packages are not installed or python is not able to create runnable files for virtualenv just because it doesn't have enough permissions. Since it is not showing permission error, it is taking time to resolve it. You can use following command to install it.

sudo python -m pip install uwsgi
or
sudo pip install uwsgi
