Setup Errors - Can't install on Raspberry Pi 4 #110

Closed JonLevin25 closed 3 years ago

JonLevin25 commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to install from pip3 on a Raspberry Pi 4 running RetroPi / Raspbian Buster.

Setup collects packages, and then fails on setup.py stating:

    ******************************************************************************
    * Setup can't determine the value of PAGE_SIZE on your system, so it will
    * default to 4096 which may not be correct.
    *
    * Please report this message and your operating system info to the package
    * maintainer listed in the README file.
    ******************************************************************************

More diagnostics/troubleshooting tried:

I'm not sure if this is a system configuration issue on my end or some hardware/OS incompatibility, but would really like to get Neopixels up and running on the Pi - any help would be appreciated

Thanks

paste the full output and command you are running with verbose output, because that error isnt coming from this library

Attaching Verbose output - The command was pip3 install --verbose adafruit-circuitpython-neopixel. I also installed wheel in between to see if it would help, no dice so far.

Someone on StackOverflow suggested installing python3-dev. Not entirely sure why it was necessary, but it worked :)
