setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1 [closed]

Question

When I try to install odoo-server, I got the following error:

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

Could anyone help me to solve this issue?

Sometimes it's the line above this error you should look at. It should tell you what package is missing. – Devaluation

The most frustrating thing is that it hides the actual error message. – Cynosure

If you have received this error message while trying to install Odoo, Kenly's answer is the most applicable. Otherwise, consider for a Q&A more specific to the package that you are trying to install, and the object that GCC is unable to locate. – Gritty

Answer 1

Try installing these packages.

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-pil python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev libssl-dev

sudo easy_install greenlet

sudo easy_install gevent

Counts

i didn't found any reasonable answer about why this error happen! why we need to install all these packages...if possible then kindly explain "'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed" to me – Senzer

Yeah, one of these packages might fix it but it would be nice to know which one particularly – Hirsute

build-essential and python-dev were enough in my case. – Sawfly

Downvoted for not answering the question. Why do I have to install qt4-docs to fix this problem? – Resinous

build-essential and python-dev is enough for my – Sestina

should i use python3- for all packages if i want to run on python 3.5.1? – Tintoretto

The only ones that are necessary are actually build-essential and python-dev – Hotbox

Just installing this packages on ubuntu 14.4 did the trick for me: >sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-pyre Though this installed "python-dev" as dependency as next solution claims though it might be enough just this package – Goodwife

sudo apt-get install python-dev solves the problem – Disafforest

I had tried with build-essential and python-dev but it did not work then finally I just copied full line sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-imaging python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev And It worked like a charm :D – Chippewa

@ShaneReustle The very last one, actually. Hah – Structuralism

Answer does not give a definitive answer to the question, just asks the user to install a bunch of packages in 'hopes' that one of them fixes your problem. – Ingra

in ubuntu you only need build-essential and python-dev, in linux mint only python-dev – Flavia

libssl-dev did it for me – Transcendence

For ubuntu server 20.04, build-essential and python-dev did the job. – Choiseul

You only need sudo apt-get install build-essential and sudo apt-get install python3.*-dev – Maddalena

build-essential solved the problem for me. – Drewdrewett

It might resolve the problem, no doubts about that, but I believe this is certainly not the "minimum" number of packages that achieve the same result. For example, installing python3-dev and gcc was enough in my case. – Dewclaw

@Senzer same as me i am using ubuntu 20.04 and Pycharm. i dont know why i need to install python3.x-dev to my source where it is already bulitin on pycharm env. – Cedilla

It is a lot of packages, but everyone's needs will be different. This answer is to ensure you have no issues. It's best too install and test each package, one by one, if your are concerned about too many packages – Compilation

For me, adding the additional package including the mentioned as worked like a charm. "RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev cargo \ && pip3 install typing_extensions pdfminer.six" We're using Docker for one of our services. – Ultraconservative

Answer 2

I encountered the same problem in college having installed Linux Mint for the main project of my final year, the third solution below worked for me.

When encountering this error please note before the error it may say you are missing a package or header file — you should find those and install them and verify if it works (e.g. ssl → libssl).

For Python 2.x use:

sudo apt-get install python-dev

For Python 2.7 use:

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev

For Python 3.x use:

sudo apt-get install python3-dev

or for a specific version of Python 3, replace x with the minor version in

sudo apt-get install python3.x-dev

Thanks for the comment @Schütze, but this isn't the accepted answer for the question, I'm always happy to help, so you can tell me about your error or you can try the accepted or other solutions, or raise a question on Stackoverflow to solve your problem. – Ingra

I use additionally apt-get install build-essential to solve my problem. – Rally

Helped for python 3.7 – Prentice

i would add that in ubuntu you also have to install build-essential. i've just solved this issue with it. in linux mint i had the same problem and python-dev solved it alone. – Flavia

@Ingra how to install in a virtualenv? I've python 3.6 in venv and globally python3.6, it is installed for global python3.6 but can't install for python3.6. Any work around? – Delusion

@FurqanHashim My solution isn't to fix odoo-server, it's a fix for the actual error. – Ingra

Answer 3

Python.h is nothing but a header file. It is used by gcc to build applications. You need to install a package called python-dev. This package includes header files, a static library and development tools for building Python modules, extending the Python interpreter or embedding Python in applications.

enter:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev

or

# apt-get install python-dev

see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-python-h-file-not-found-error-solution/

Gregory

This did not solve the problem for me: Reading state information... Done python-dev is already the newest version. – Rilke

@SummerSun If you're using python3, you should use: $sudo apt-get install python3-dev or $ sudo apt-get install python3.4-dev – Symbolic

@antoinet but i am using python 2.7.4... I have solved this long ago but i don't remember any specific solution – Rhinoplasty

Definitely worked for me: Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit; zshell + tmux – Selfrealization

The installation of "python-dev" helped me. I'm installing yara through pip install. Thank you! – Monophthong

For python3.x use the command $sudo apt-get install python3.x-dev – Umeko

if you are using ubuntu, you also need to install build-essential. check this answer: https://mcmap.net/q/75223/-error-command-39-x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-39-when-installing-mysqlclient – Flavia

Mentioning python version is important, in my case this command installed python-dev for python 2.7 which didn't work. But when I mentioned the version like: sudo apt-get install python3.8-dev this worked (I also had python 3.8 installed in my machine). See @kame's answer. – Auten

worked for me. I install a specific old Python version (3.7) and needed to install further dependencies – Leathern

I need to add my python version because I use virtual environment sudo apt-get install python3.11-dev – Echolalia

Answer 4

You need to install these packages:

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libffi-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev

Berl

This one worked for me. I had all python and build packages from previous answers, I was missing these lib* packages. THANKS! – Tripitaka

Worked on void linux. – Getup

This will most likely work on clean systems, but in my case all I was missing was the 3 packages: libldap2-dev, libpq-dev and libsasl2-dev – Soursop

Worked for Ubuntu 19.10 with Python 3.7 – Sydelle

Worked for Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 2.7 – Condottiere

Thank you it worked for 20.04 with python 3.8 – Skaw

This worked for me. Ubuntu 18.04, Python 3.9.6. – Par

I only needed to install libpq-dev in my case (Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 3.8). Encountered the error while trying to pip install psycopg2. – Photofinishing

this saved my life on a containerization of an app for arm64, thanks a lot! – Bein

Answer 5

For Python 3.5 use:

sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev

For Python 3.6 use:

sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev

For Python 3.7 use:

sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev

For Python 3.8 use:

sudo apt-get install python3.8-dev

... and so on ...

Concoction

As a side note, I just used sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev and it also worked. – Virescent

Boy that was tough -- I installed everything mentioned above on my system until this one finally fixed it for me. I'm using a virtualenv with python3.6. Thank you for that. – Chairmanship

Perfect!! Solved! – Shoestring

Answer 7

In my case, it was missing package libffi-dev.

What worked:

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev

Siusan

Answer 8

For me none of above worked. However, I solved problem with installing libssl-dev.

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

This might work if you have same error message as in my case:

fatal error: openssl/opensslv.h: No such file or directory ... .... command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Carbine

Me too. The accepted answer seems a little excessive. – Radioisotope

This worked for me as well without having to download a bunch from the accepted answer – Harbor

This is usually this library that is missing when I install cryptography package in python. – Alvie

This was the issue for me too. I could tell it from the stdout line "src/pycurl.h:164:28: fatal error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory" printed just before the line questioned in this post "error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1" – Capital

Answer 9

In my case following command did the magic

sudo apt-get install gcc python3-dev

if the above command didn't work try following two commands

sudo apt-get install gcc python-dev

1. this is the case when you want it to install for the python version set as default python in your machine.

Or

sudo apt-get install gcc python3.x-dev

2. where python3.x represent the version number of python installed on your machine.

Not only this solution helped me fix my ffi.h missing dependency but also helped fixing other missing dependencies. Thanks! – Weka

This really helped. I was missing file called pcrecpp.h. And the package I had to install was libpcre3-dev. – Outman

Answer 11

In my case pip was unable to install libraries, I tried solutions given above, but none worked but the below worked for me:

sudo apt upgrade gcc

Sternway

Usually this Happens when we dont use environment – Sternway

Answer 12

Despite being an old question, I'll add my opinion.

I think the right answer depends on the error message of the gcc compiler, something like "Missing xxxx.h"

This might help in some cases:

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev

Hogtie

Answer 13

This was enough for me:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Infeld

Answer 14

In Linux Mint with python3

$ sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev

should be enough

Answer 15

below answer worked for me, you can try:

sudo apt-get install python3-lxml

Dustydusza

And for python2:sudo apt-get install python-lxml – Tic

Answer 16

Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with a virtualenv running python 3.5, I had to do:

sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev

The other commands:

sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-dev

Did not help. I think this is because the virtualenv needs to rely on the system-wide python-dev package and it must match the virtualenv's python version. However, using the above commands installs python-dev for python 2.x and the python 3.x that comes with Ubuntu 14.04 which is 3.4, not 3.5.

Answer 17

Answer 18

After upgrade my computer with pip today, and check the other answers here, I can tell you that it could be ANYTHING. You should check error by error, looking for what's the specific library that you need. In my case, these were the libraries that I had to install:

$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libvirt-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Answer 20

first you need to find out what the actual problem was. what you're seeing is that the C compiler failed but you don't yet know why. scroll up to where you get the original error. in my case, trying to install some packages using pip3, I found:

    Complete output from command /usr/bin/python3 -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-4u59c_8b/cryptography/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-itjeh3va-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --user:
    c/_cffi_backend.c:15:17: fatal error: ffi.h: No such file or directory

 #include <ffi.h>

                 ^

compilation terminated.

so in my case I needed to install libffi-dev.

Veinlet

For sure, this compiler error presented on the question, is very relative. My case, for example, was just like yours: I was installing bcrypt via pip3, and the output was quite huge and observing the first messages from pip3 install bcrypt, I realized that libffi-dev was the package which was causing all the trouble for the next steps of the installation process. Well observed, friend :). I hope you don't my mind, if I give some cents to your answer, which for me, deserves a better consideration. Regards. – Luster

Answer 21

In my case the command sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev resolved the issue. I was getting an error specific to the sql.h header file.

Tip: Please do not consider this as an answer. Just to help someone else too.

I had similar issue while installing psycopg2. I installedbuild-essential, python-dev and also libpq-dev but it thrown same error.

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

As I was in hurry in deployment so finally just copied full line from @user3440631's answer.

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-imaging python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev

And It worked like a charm. but could not find which package has resolved my issue. Please update the comment if anyone have idea about psycopg2 dependancy package from above command.

This swig package saved my life as the solution for M2Crypto and graphviz-dev for pygraphviz. I hope this will help someone.

in the same case, please consider the typo (bug) in one of the installation files and edit it manually by changing "X509_REVOKED_dup" to "X509_REVOKED_dupe" (no quotes). I have edited the x509.h file:

sed -e's/X509_REVOKED_dup/X509_REVOKED_dupe/g' -i usr/include/openssl/x509.h

and it worked for me, but please consult with the post linked below, as they edited another file:

In my case, it was oursql that was causing the same(generic) error as below.

In file included from oursqlx/oursql.c:236:0:

So, I knew that I need to have libmysqlcppconn-dev package.

sudo apt-get install libmysqlcppconn-dev

And all good!

On the general note, I later checked the setup.py file of oursql package and found out that it uses mysqld and thus I installed sudo apt-get install libmysqld-dev and it worked for me. – Pyrazole

Answer 32

TL;DR: run the below command

sudo apt-get install python2-dev gcc

I had this problem when trying to pip install a module for python2.7.

Lots of answers mention that a fix for this is sudo apt-get install python-dev. However, this did not work for me, as the package was not found. However, the command shown at the top of this comment exists, and I was finally able to pip install the module.

most of us search using the second last line.

error: command '/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1

But if you look closely, a few lines above, you can actually see which package is missing. It clearly states that a directory or file is missing

gssapi/gssapi.h: No such file or directory

searching why this package could be the solution you are looking for.

After installing a lot of libraries, the one that worked for me! was swig:

sudo apt-get install swig

The error arose when installing python's M2Crypto library.
