Zachary Ware <zachary.w...@gmail.com> added the comment: I expect that the root cause is missing libffi(-dev[el]) on your system, preventing _ctypes from building, so your quick fix would be to install that and try again.
However, not having _ctypes shouldn't cause installation to fail. Donald, is ctypes a hard requirement for pip to install itself? If so, ensurepip as called by `make install` should either gracefully handle a lack of ctypes or be disabled when ctypes is not available. ---------- nosy: +dstufft, ncoghlan, zach.ware _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31652> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
