red hat 安装scrapy

首先安装依赖环境。
有些需要root权限。
python2.7、pip、lxml和openssl。

貌似我这里除了openssl什么都缺。所以依次安装python2.7、pip和lxml。

python2.7和pip很好安装。不过要注意的是安装pip前要先安装python2.7，大概因为我的python2.4太旧了。

安装lxml时遇到一些麻烦。根据上面的参考页面要首先安装libxml2和libxslt。这两个都是下载源码然后切换到目录后执行如下三个命令：

./configure
make
make install

然后才是安装libxml。

pip install libxml

这样才算成功安装了libxml。

然后安装scrapy。不过我在执行pip install scrapy 遇到了如下错误：

 Package libffi was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libffi.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 No package 'libffi' found

上面的错误是也是因为某些包没有，执行如下命令安装：

yum install libffi-devel

最后安装scrapy

 pip install scrapy

最后验证是否安装成功，结果遇到如下错误：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/scrapy", line 7, in <module>
    from scrapy.cmdline import execute
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
    from scrapy.spiders import Spider
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/spiders/__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
    from scrapy.http import Request
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/http/__init__.py", line 11, in <module>
    from scrapy.http.request.form import FormRequest
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/http/request/form.py", line 9, in <module>
    import lxml.html
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml/html/__init__.py", line 42, in <module>
    from lxml import etree
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml/etree.so: undefined symbol: exsltMathXpathCtxtRegister

解决方案：

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  

再次验证就没问题了
