Problems installing Scrapy

Question

I try to install Scrapy in cygwin, and finally I got easy_install, but it continues to give this error message: Setup script completed with an error:

'gcc' failed with exit status 1 

I am using gcc version 3.4.4. Any ideas I'm at a loss what to try next? Before he issues this error message, he prints thousands of lines about OpenSSl, I'm not sure if this means that the problem is in OpenSSL or not.

Answer 1

Finally, the root problem was in pyOpenSSL and the easy_install PyOpenSSL error was addressed here.

Update: for other gcc errors that I later received, I found that installing gcc4 from the cygwin setup fixed it.
