Cannot install LightPipes (version 2.0.0 and higher) on a Raspberry Pi vs 4.0 (Solved)
This is caused by the fact that the required pyFFTW package cannot be installed on a Raspberry Pi (ARM processor) Maybe this will be solved in the future.
In the mean time you can install pyFFTW on a Raspberry Pi as follows:
Step1, download FFTW:
Download from the FFTW Download page http://www.fftw.org/download.html the file fftw-3.3.8.tar.gz or newer. At a terminal prompt goto your Downloads directory and type:
cd ~/Downloads
tar xzf fftw-3.3.8.tar.gz
Step 2, install FFTW:
cd fftw-3.3.8
./configure --enable-threads --enable-shared
make
sudo make install
If an error pops up that says something like: “E: Encountered a section with no package header” and/or: “E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened”, try:
The installation of LightPipes for Python described above has been tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 model B with 8Gbyte memory and with NOOBS 3.5.0 operating system.
It has also been tested with the recommended Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) operating system installed using the Raspberry Pi Imager v1.4. See: Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/
