Error installing fbprophet with python 3.6.3 on ubuntu 16.04

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to install fbprophet on ubuntu 16.04 with python 3.6.3… I tried pip3 install fbprophet but got an error:

    INFO:pystan:COMPILING THE C++ CODE FOR MODEL anon_model_1fdd477dd8bcc50395c4e25c8741f1c1 NOW.
    error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Here’s the full trace log:

Just to comment on this issue - the gist is to install the python-dev that matches your python version. For example, I am using python 3.7 so I have to do sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev.

I had the same issue and managed to resolve it by installing python3-dev. Even though I had python-dev installed, I suspect that it doesn’t contain the required headers for python3.
