I'm trying to install psutil with the Homebrew version of Python on OSX Mojave.

Running:

pip3 install psutil 2> error.log

The console output is:

Collecting psutil
  Using cached psutil-5.7.2.tar.gz (460 kB)
Building wheels for collected packages: psutil
  Building wheel for psutil (setup.py) ... error
  Running setup.py clean for psutil
Failed to build psutil
Installing collected packages: psutil
    Running setup.py install for psutil ... error

and the error messages:

I don't understand what the source of the error is. The linker seems to have a problem with the flag -platform_version even though it's not in any of the previous lines.

I have searched for other solutions that usually involve some variant of

xcode-select --install
xcode-select --reset

I've tried all that, including reinstalling command line tools but nothing seems to fix it. Is the issue potentially that I have to upgrade to Catalina? I've been putting that off because of its lack of 32-bit support. Thanks.

edit: This is what I get with "ld -v"

Can you edit to post the output of ld -v ? – Encompass
Hi, I edited to include that output – Sanskritic
It seems related to Xcode and Command Line Tools not updated to the latest version, which includes ld that does support -platform-version. Did you install the latest Xcode for Mojave? (11.3) – Encompass
Thanks so much, finally got it done! Turns out I didn't have Xcode at all (don't know when it was uninstalled). Couldn't download it without Catalina so bit the bullet and upgraded. Then installed Xcode and reinstalled command line tools and it works. – Sanskritic
