Cannot install with pip 22.0.4

[sn0rlacks]

Currently running python 3.9.11 on Debian. Not sure if this has ever been reported, but pasting my output here. Anchor, solana, and pip are installed. setuptools is also up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Can you try pip install jsonrpcclient? That seems like the part that pip is complaining about?

Yep, runs into same issue. I'll file a request with their team. Can close this out
