Installing pysox on ubuntu via pip install, cannot resolve sox.h

In case it helps, I had the same issue but got errors using:

sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins libasound2-python libsox-fmt-all libsox-dev sox

I did get it to work though by dropping the libasound requests, which no longer appear to be available.

This is what worked for me... the process, I think, was:

pip3 install sox

sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-all 

sudo apt-get install sox libsox-dev 

pip3 install pysox

Only took me about 11 hours to work that out.

Okay, this was to be expected: forgot to install the dev package for SoX, namely libsox-dev. It wasn't obvious to me at first because the standard package is sox, and the lib packages are all prefaced with libsox-fmt (and there is very little documentation on this).

anyway, this is everything you'll need on a Debian machine to get the proper files in place for pip/easy_install to package manage your modules properly for SoX:

sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins libasound2-python libsox-fmt-all libsox-dev sox
