I just installed Rocky Linux 9 and my os contains "Development Tools" packages plus the required libraries for development and installing PyAudio such as portaudio and portaudio-devel, which is mentioned many times for other distros such as Ubuntu and RHEL.

By the way, I could not install PyAudio via mentioned ways on Rocky Linux 9. The error message during installation is that:

╰─ pip install pyaudio                                                                                                                                                                            ─╯

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

ERROR: Could not build wheels for pyaudio, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I searched around the problem and I am tackling it with that. Thereby, the following mentioned ways are among my efforts.

The one way I tried to fix that but not worked is that installing portaudio and portaudio-devel. Another way was installing in the new Python virtualenv, however, it is clear that has not worked yet. I also tried to install it by cloning its repository to utilize a different way of installing with pip. It has not worked either.

  • Yes, I have. It works on my Macbook, however, the problem is unsolved in Rocky Linux 9 on my Desktop which is the main device for my development. Commented Jun 11, 2023 at 18:14
  • You say you've researched around, but you do not say what you've tried to do to fix things and the outcome of those efforts. Can you please use the EDIT button and add missing information to your question to make it more clear and complete. Commented Jun 12, 2023 at 4:45
  • Try sudo yum install python3-devel. The key to solving your problem is to understand what the file Python.h is, what it is used for, and why it is missing from your system. When you see lines that start with gcc, that means that the package requires compilation and parts of the package are written in C or C++. python-dev contains the header files you need to build Python packages and extensions that are written in C or C++. This link will help you learn more. Commented Jun 22, 2023 at 4:25
