Answer 1

I faced this issue on Ubuntu 16.04 while trying to install the wikimedia extension mathoid.

I tried everything that was suggested and nothing worked until I did:

sudo apt-get install librsvg2-2 librsvg2-dev

Answer 2

On Ubuntu 10.04, Installing libicu solved my problem.

sudo apt-get install libicu-dev

Answer 3

I already had build-essential installed. I just had to run:

sudo apt install python

Answer 4

If the error is due to " fatal error: dns_sd.h: No such file or directory 32 | #include <dns_sd.h> ", solve it by

" sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev " , else if it is due to python2 follow @Manish Jangir method

Answer 5

In my-case it was failing on Linux-mint 19.2, for some reasons on run-time gcc++ was not accessible. So by installing the build-essentials error was resolved. PS:

build-essential package is a reference for all the packages needed to compile a Debian packages. It generally includes the GCC/g++ compilers and libraries and some other utilities. Informational for list of build-essential packages can be found on build-essentials

Answer 6

on Ubuntu 18, I had to install required build libs to get it working

sudo apt-get install build-essential
