python - Unable to find Protobuf include directory during install mysql-connector over pip

I pulled mysql-connector-python code and when I run python ./setup.py build I get the following error:

Unable to find Protobuf include directory.

pip install Protobuf was useless

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

I found that this error occurs since version 2.2.3. You can avoid this issue using version 2.1.6.

pip install mysql-connector==2.1.6

try above.
