I use ubuntu 16.04 and python 2.7.12.

When I try to install pycurl with pip, I could see below log.

aaa@bbb:~/git/ccc$ sudo pip install pycurl
  Downloading pycurl-7.43.0.tar.gz (182kB)
    100% |████████████████████████████████| 184kB 515kB/s

    In file included from src/docstrings.c:4:0:
    src/pycurl.h:173:30: fatal error: gnutls/gnutls.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.

How to install pycurl with above log?

Install gnutls first using:

sudo apt-get install libgnutls28-dev

Then try again.
