Probably related to #118

Manage to install python with asdf now.
need to install packages below, before trying to install python

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \
libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm \
libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev

I must have missed some packages

[LukeSamkharadze]

Thanks it worked.

But I think issue still should be opened as those dependencies should be installed automatically by asdf python plugin or at least let us now about them

[AllanCapistrano]

I had the same issue and solved it using the following commands:

sudo apt install libffi-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev

sudo apt install libssl-dev

sudo apt install libreadline-dev libbz2-dev libsqlite3-dev

Works for Ubuntu 22:04 as well!

I recommend to check the log file that is created. There you can see why the build failed. The last 10 log lines is not enough.

I can confirm this works! With WSL as well on Ubuntu 22.04

Confirmed working on PopOS (Ubuntu) 22.04 today (2024-02-14). Thank you!

It worked here too (Ubuntu 22.04)!

[dgchrt]

One liner solution (thanks to @AllanCapistrano for the shorter list of dependencies):

sudo apt install libffi-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libbz2-dev libsqlite3-dev

Then once asdf install python runs successfully, it is also possible to remove those -dev packages right after.

[regtm]

The issue still seems relevant, so here are the rpm dependencies:

sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" -y
sudo dnf install zlib-devel bzip2 bzip2-devel readline-devel sqlite sqlite-devel openssl-devel xz xz-devel libffi-devel findutils -y
