Pip install portfolioopt fatal error C1083

I'm trying to install portfolioopt (Win 8.1*64) lib using pip and get those errors:

     C:\Users\Alexey\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Pytho
n\9.0\VC\Bin\amd64\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GS- /DNDEBUG -IC:\Anaconda\inc

    base.c

rectory
    error: command 'C:\\Users\\Alexey\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Common\\Microso
ft\\Visual C++ for Python\\9.0\\VC\\Bin\\amd64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status

I already have Visual C++ 2008 and Compiler package for python 2.7. How to fix it?

It appears that your problem is with the requirements for portfolioopt, for some reason it doesn't seem to be properly installing the cvxopt package. What I did to fix this problem (I tried and had a similar problem to you) is to separately install the cvxopt package, which I did with this command:

    conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/eswears cvxopt

after this package installed I used the pip install command for the portfolioopt package:

    pip install portfolioopt

and the installation worked.
