There seems to be a glitch in the installer of master, 6a74da70280106526fbf020a8849c74e473d9cba When running sudo python3 setup.py install I get

I am running an almost virgin Ubuntu 17.10, Kernel Version 4.13.0-37-generic on an x86 and did an sudo apt-get install python3-lxml poppler-utils beforehands.

I'll be looking into that as soon as I got time for it but if you know any releief I'd be glad to hear about it. Thanks and have a nice weekend!

Try sudo apt-get install python3-dev?
