I get this when easy_installing pyliblo as well as following your own install instructions.

Do you have liblo (the C library on which pyliblo is based) installed?

You may also need to tell the compiler where to look for liblo headers and libraries. At least I've heard from several OS X users who had to manually set the C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variables, because liblo's default install prefix of /usr/local was not automatically searched by the compiler.

If you've found this via Google and you're on OSX, the solution is simply:

brew install liblo
