' error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1 '

[euler16]

I wanted to install scrapy in virtualenv using pip (Python 3.5) but I get the following error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I tried with Python 2.7 but I get the same error

[eliasdorneles]

Have you tried installing the libraries mentioned in the documentation? Here is the link for Ubuntu: http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/install.html#ubuntu-9-10-or-above

@euler16 ,

for scrapy with Python 3, you'll need

sudo apt-get install python3 python-dev python3-dev \
     build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev \
     libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \
     python-pip

with Python 2, you'll need

sudo apt-get install python-dev  \
     build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev \
     libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \
     python-pip

[redapple]

This should get you covered (tested with Ubuntu 16.04):

sudo apt-get update -y

# install python3 and dev headers
sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev

# pip is great
sudo apt-get install -y python-pip

# for cryptography (required by twisted[tls])
sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev libffi-dev

# for lxml
sudo apt-get install -y libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

# create a Python3 virtualenv
mkvirtualenv -p python3 scrapy.py3

# and install scrapy inside it
(scrapy.py3) ~$ pip install scrapy

Check that you're using Python3:

(scrapy.py3) ~$  scrapy version -v
Scrapy    : 1.1.0
lxml      : 3.6.0.0
libxml2   : 2.9.3

@euler16 , did you manage to get it working?

[iamrudraksha]

Well it worked for me. Thanks! :smile:

On Ubuntu 16.04 I had to do

sudo apt-get install libblas-dev libatlas-base-dev

All I needed was python-dev.

$ sudo apt install python3.6-dev

it worked for me. not for scrapy but for same type of error with psycopg2 installation.

[icaropablo2]

Awesome, I had this issue after update to Ubuntu 19. So I just used

sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev

Thank you for sharing.

[lobstrio]

All I needed was python-dev.

$ sudo apt install python3.6-dev

sudo apt install python3.7-dev

if you recently upgraded python

the same goes for python 3.8: sudo apt install python3.8-dev

[davide1995]

What about if I don't have the permissions for sudo and I'm installing the package in the .local folder with pip3 install --user ?

[Gallaecio]

If you need the python headers installed (what python3.8-dev provides), and cannot install them system-wide, see https://superuser.com/q/431347/172753

python-pip

Ubuntu 20.04 + Python3

apt can't locate python-pip package. otherwise, without this line, your solution works great!

For people facing similar issues in Ubuntu14.04 Locking to this version works cryptography==2.6.1

None of the solutions from all of you solved this problem for me (same, but for pandas and cyvcf2). I am trying to build a docker image with python, and when I install the requirements, during wheel building, I get the error:

Hi All, the error with x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc suggest gcc (c compiler I think) is not installed. sudo apt-get install gcc

sudo apt-get install python-dev  \
     build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev \
     libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev \ build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev \ libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \ python3-pip

For python3.8 I had to change the above to:

sudo apt-get install python3.8 python-dev python3.8-dev \
        build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev \
        libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \
        python-pip

Then the build command worked, I was working with thumbor on ubuntu-18-lts which kept throwing the same error as above
