py27-readline: fatal error: 'sys/types.h' file not found; fatal error: 'stdio.h' file not found

Trying to install py-spyder on 10.8.2 and the port fails when trying to build the p27-readline extension module. I have attached the main log file but the error in the log file is shown below:

The log says "fatal error: 'sys/types.h' file not found" and "fatal error: 'stdio.h' file not found". These are standard OS headers that should be there (in /usr/include) if Xcode command line tools are installed properly. Are they? Check the Downloads section of the Xcode app's Preferences window.

Any updates on this? Were you able to resolve the issue?

Yes I realized my mistake shortly after I sent the trouble report. Everything is working fine now that I have properly installed the command line tools. Thanks.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Great, glad you got it working.
