Try installing Homebrew (http://brew.sh/) and then doing `brew install snappy`. That will put libsnappy in /usr/local/lib.

But to use the python server, I need to install "libsnappy-dev" in Mac OS as per https://github.com/phunt/avro-rpc-quickstart. Do you know how to install this library in Mac OS? or is there an alternate way to setup a python RPC server using Avro?

If you can live with yajl for now, 1.7.5 should work fine for you.

Went to lang/ruby/ and modified Rakefile as: p.runtime_dependencies = %w[multi-json] to p.runtime_dependencies = %w[multi_json] and `sudo rake install` I am able to do RPC using Ruby server/client. I want a python server actually. In the repo https://github.com/phunt/avro-rpc-quickstart, there is lib named "libsnappy-dev". Does anybody know its equivalent for Mac OS?

(Gem::UnsatisfiableDependencyError) Unable to resolve dependency: avro (= 1.7.6) requires multi-json (>= 0) I learnt that, this was fixed in 1.7.7 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1459) but the gem page(http://rubygems.org/gems/avro) still shows 1.7.6. When do we get the latest version? or How can build the gem locally by applying the patch? Thanks, Lenin
