Error during pip install on ubuntu

[scalzee]

Subprocess32 is a dependency for the fbprophet library.

While pip installing the fbprophet module I received the following error:

Command "/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/envs/resfuture/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-DWKA4l/subprocess32/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-zcj5OE-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-DWKA4l/subprocess32/

When I tried to pip install just subprocess I encountered the same error:
Failed building wheel for subprocess32
Command "/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/envs/resfuture/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-paHlZS/subprocess32/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-mEbekx-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-paHlZS/subprocess32/

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

I had the same error with updating matplotlib. Installing python-dev solved this for me:
sudo apt-get install python-dev

Yes, Python headers and a compiler toolchain are required on Linux.

I ran into this error trying to install python-openstackclient, on ubuntu 18.04. I had to run apt-get install gcc to resolve it.

Is there any way to avoid this issue that does not require root access?
