I am trying to install gmpy2 on my Anaconda Python 3.5 distribution using pip. I was able to install other modules such as primefac perfectly. When I try to install gmpy2 this is what I get:

(C:\Program Files\Anaconda3) C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install gmpy2

  Failed building wheel for gmpy2

I have noticed that whenever I try installing gmpy2 on a computer I always get some sort of error and it is a different one every time. Can someone please tell me how to fix this.

Thanks.

I maintain gmpy2 and unfortunately I have not been able to build Windows binaries for Python 3.5 and later. gmpy2 relies on either the MPIR or GMP libraries, and the MPFR and MPC libraries. There are detailed instructions included in the source distribution but they are not trivial to build on Windows. It is probably impossible(*) to build MPIR, MPFR, and MPC via pip. I would use the pre-compiled binaries available from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

(*) I'm sure it is possible with enough effort but I haven't done it.

I'm trying to use gmpy2 as well, are you telling me that it would work if I downgrade to python 3.4.10 or something? – Valverde 27/7, 2020 at 10:8

The reason is some required packages (especially below packages) aren't installed.

GMP: GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library
MPFR: GNU Multiple-precision floating-point rounding library
MPC: GNU Multiple-precision C library

you could install those packages by below commands:

apt-get install libgmp-dev
apt-get install libmpfr-dev
apt-get install libmpc-dev

I could install gmpy2 by installing those libraries.

the key point is remembering below hint when you got an error like above.

# include "***.h": ==> No such file or directory

apt-get install lib"***"-dev

in windows you can install pip with cygwin and when installing cygwin's packages remember to install above packages and python/python-setuptools. – Danczyk 28/12, 2016 at 11:47

On a Mac: brew install gmp brew install mpfr brew install mpc – Rillis 20/6, 2018 at 17:54

solved my problem installing gmpy2 include "mpfr.h" | ^~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1 – Loon 29/11, 2020 at 21:27

The answer above works as noted, but i had to also find out how to install a wheel, which is answered here How do I install a Python package with a .whl file? specifically, by copying the wheel file and executing (in my case), using pip 9

pip install C:\Python35\gmpy2-2.0.8-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl

first i tried gmpy2-2.0.8-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl but got success only with gmpy2-2.0.8-cp39-cp39-win32.whl – Loon 29/11, 2020 at 21:51

Use conda to install instead of pip. conda will take care of installing the necessary dependencies. The command is: conda install gmpy2
