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

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. — dan-klasson, Feb 22 '18 at 17:01
The most frustrating thing is that it hides the actual error message. — Velkan, Apr 12 '21 at 13:54
If you have received this error message while trying to install Odoo, [Kenly's answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/35164888/5320906) 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. — snakecharmerb, Jan 12 '23 at 12:04

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

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/

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

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

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

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.

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:

 #include <ffi.h>

                 ^

compilation terminated.

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

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. — ivanleoncz, Mar 12 '18 at 20:33

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.

I have solved my **psycopg2** problem by installing **postgresql-devel** package on CentOS. — Phyticist, Jan 28 '17 at 16:10

Lot of time I got the same error when installing M2Crypto & pygraphviz and installed all the things mention in the approved answer. But this below line solved all my problems with the other packages in approved answer too.

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev swig
sudo apt-get install -y graphviz-dev

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:

Like Robin Winslow says in a comment :

I found my solution over here: stackoverflow.com/a/5178444/613540

In my case, my complete error message was :

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz 
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I was trying to install torrench :

sudo python3 setup.py install

With given stackoverflow link, I solve this issue by :

sudo apt install zlib1g-dev

Note that the following packages were already installed :

libxslt1-dev is already the newest version.
python3-dev is already the newest version.
libxml2-dev is already the newest version.

Hope that will help !

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.

This problem can originate from one of any missing packages especially in newer builds.

        creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-cpython-39/src

    compilation terminated.
    error: command '/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1
    [end of output]

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.
