I'm having trouble installing pyaudio correctly. I have a virtualenv set up for the project. I first tried to install portaudio:

sudo port install portaudio

which returns:

--->  Cleaning portaudio
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
--->  No broken files found.

I assume that means it ran fine. Then I tried:

pip install pyaudio

Which returns:

Downloading/unpacking pyaudio
Running setup.py egg_info for package pyaudio

warning: no files found matching '*.c' under directory 'test'
Installing collected packages: pyaudio
Running setup.py install for pyaudio

Is that first warning a problem? I'm a bit surprised it's saying no file or directory for portaudio.h. Do I have to do something special to enable my port audio macport installation?

Appreciate any help!

$ brew install portaudio
$ pip install pyaudio

Some missing libraries and such that portaudio provides. Works for Python 2.7 (not sure about other versions)
