Error when installing Adafruit_BBIO Library with pip

[frank2597]

Hi, i am currently having some issues installing the Adafruit_BBIO library on a Beaglebone black(Debian 10 buster). I am receiving the error message "Failed building wheel for Adafruit-BBIO", the information is below:

I will be very grateful if someone could help me resolve this issue, thanks.

@frank2597 if it is possible for you, please try this newer image: AM3358 Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 4GB SD IoT

If you aren't able to try that, then I will download the 2019-07-07 image and try to reproduce.

Hello @pdp7, thanks for the reply. I have tried the newer image however i received the same error message.

[frank2597]

Hello @pdp7 i recently discovered an alternative to install the library by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip python-smbus -y
git clone git://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python.git
cd adafruit-beaglebone-io-python
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..
sudo rm -rf adafruit-beaglebone-io-python

So i am considering closing this issue. @pdp7 I was hoping that if you have the time, if you could please check out my new issue that i encountered at the following link:

https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/issues/333

Thank you very much!
