Issue
I am using amazon ec2 ubuntu 11.04 server
sudo pip install python-snappy
also I tried to downloaded package and entered "sudo python setup.py install"
I got the error:
running build
running build_ext
building 'snappy' extension
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c snappymodule.cc -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/snappymodule.o
cc1plus: warning: command line option ‘-Wstrict-prototypes’ is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++ [enabled by default]
snappymodule.cc:31:22: fatal error: snappy-c.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
How i could get rid of this error?

Solution
You need Snappy C library
Then you have to install python-snappy wrapper.
It seems you didn't install Snappy-C library
Try it ..as already a fellow commented for your post
UPDATE: See more highly upvoted post below, which includes instructions to install on DEB-based, RPM-based, and Mac OS (Brew).
