Thank you for reading this.

I have successfully installed RPIO under python 2 but I'm having difficulty installing it under python 3. I have installed python3 setuptools and this is how I tried to install RPIO:

pi@raspberrypi ~/RPIO $ sudo python3 setup.py install

The installation starts but ends with the following error:

source/c_gpio/py_gpio.c:28:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

A Google search shows that there are some problems with python3 setuptools and that installing RPIO under python3 should work.

Is it possible to install RPIO under python 3?

Maybe you just need to install python3-dev first?

Thanks AndrewS, you are correct. The missing python header was the clue that I missed.

I already have Raspberry PI 2 with Python 3 installed.
I have a similar problem trying to install GP10 libery error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1. What did you do to correct this - install Python Dev -how did you do it. I am a beginner at this - it show yes.

Run the following commands in the terminal

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-dev

It seems to also need Python2.7-dev, so try:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-dev

to install all of them.
