not able to pip install python-lzo to a python vm on linux (centos7)

I am not able to pip install python-lzo to a python vm on linux (centos7). I saw that there was a related issue previously, but that there was also a request that a new issue be opened if anyone else had this problem.

This error most likely means that you don't have an appropriate version of lzo installed on your Centos VM. Does it have installed the lzo-devel RPM? If installing that fixes, perhaps you would be willing to make a PR to add a Centos section to the main README.md file? Alternatively, just let me know the results and I'll add such a section.

Thanks. Will do.

So, I'm not using a Centos VM, and I'm working on a linux system where I don't have root. So I had lzo installed by the systems people. After that, I was able to pip install python-lzo without any problem at all.
