Installation fails: Cannot open include file: 'numpy/arrayobject.h'

[pHiney]

Not sure if this extra information will help or hinder.

Is there a way to tell it where the arrayobject.h can be found ?
Same error if I install inside the virtualEnv or outside of it.

Win11

the header file exists

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Tried running it from (just shotgunning)
(.venv) c:\Users\Peter\PycharmProjects\ggpk.venv\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include

same error, so pip moves to a different directory for install

Same error with Python 3.6.15 on openSUSE 15.4

Thanks a lot for the report !

I have just started to port the old travis CI and appveyor automated builds and tests to github actions. Hopefully that will help us to see more clearly what's going on. At this stage I can reproduce the missing numpy/arrayobject.h file during the build from (Cython) sources on macos (but strangely enough, not on Windows and not on Linux!). I will keep investigating.

Hi @pHiney,

Could you have a look and see if the latest beta version works for you?

pip install --pre bitstream

(The automated install from github actions now pass on Ubuntu, Windows and MacOS.)

Cheers

Sébastien

Yes it has thanks
