command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Question

I tried to install \"scholarly\" package, but I keep receiving this error:

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. This one helped me:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

If you using python3, try to replace python-dev with python3-dev

Answer 2

Install lib32ncurses5-dev:

sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5-dev

Answer 3

In my case the exception was:

Exception:

#include <snappy-c.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit
status 1

And I solved it by installing these libraries:

sudo apt-get install libsnappy-dev

pip3 install python-snappy

Here is a great explanation about the cause of the exception and how we can get rid of that.
