Root Cause

No prebuilt wheel exists for the current (Python version, platform, ABI) triple, so pip falls back to a source build that fails because build deps (compiler, headers) are missing.

generic

中文

当前(Python 版本、平台、ABI)组合没有预构建 wheel,pip 回退到源码构建,而构建依赖(编译器、头文件)缺失导致失败。

Workarounds

  1. 88% success
    Install a prebuilt wheel from a compatible index or pin to a version with wheels: `pip install 'numpy<2' --only-binary=:all:` to force wheel-only resolution.
  2. 85% success
    Install build prerequisites: on Debian/Ubuntu `apt-get install build-essential python3-dev`, then retry `pip install numpy`.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 75% fail

    Upgrading build tools does not create a wheel that upstream did not publish for this platform.

  2. 70% fail

    Uses the current environment's build deps; usually the same missing compiler is the actual blocker.
