Hello when I attempt to install pylibmc on OSX Lion using pip I get the following error:

./_pylibmcmodule.h:42:10: fatal error: 'libmemcached/memcached.h' file not found

#include <libmemcached/memcached.h>

         ^

1 error generated.

error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1

Any clues at how to solve this issue?

libmemcached may also be installed using Homebrew.

brew install libmemcached

After that, pip install pylibmc worked for me without needing to specify any additional arguments.
