I got similar problem, but asked GPT for solution and it gave me this:

sudo apt update sudo apt install python3-dev

Then: sudo apt install build-essential

And reinstall Fabric as per Daniels' guide. Worked as a charm.

[ebelious]

I installed this on my Fedora system and this looks to fix the issue

sudo yum install gcc-c++

[discoweasel]

Came here to say I had the same issue on Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition). I ran it in a KVM to test before running on host.

As mentioned by @ebelious above, installing gcc-c++ & python3-devel resolves the issue. It's a dependency and not a bug.
