Can you tell me how to sovle this problem?

Had the same problem. I had to install python3.6-dev, i.e. in Ubuntu:

sudo apt install python3.6-dev

Note that I have the "deadsnake 3rd-Party Python Modules" in my PPA.

sudo apt install python3.6-dev Thanks! This actually works with every version e.g. sudo apt install python3.X-dev --> sudo apt install python3.8-dev
