Solution 1

The actual error message is at the compilation phase:

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -g -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -g -fwrapv -O2 -fPIC -DUSE__THREAD -DHAVE_SYNC_SYNCHRONIZE -I/usr/include/ffi -I/usr/include/libffi -I/home/aalam/Flask_Blog/venv/include -I/usr/include/python3.10 -c c/_cffi_backend.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-cpython-310/c/_cffi_backend.o
c/_cffi_backend.c:15:10: fatal error: ffi.h: No such file or directory
15 | #include <ffi.h>

So you need to find out why that file is not present.

For further help I would suggest you go to CFFI documentation — CFFI 1.15.1 documentation[^].

@Richard MacCutchan thanks for helping buddy. I am not able to proceed, appropriately, using your suggestion. Can you be please more specific?

Richard MacCutchan 29-Dec-22 11:36am

How much more specific do you think I can be? The error message is clear, there is a file missing from the downloaded package.That is not something that anyone here can fix for you.

Aalam Pratap Bedi 30-Dec-22 3:29am

@Richard MacCutchan I installed cffi but the error continues to show. What else can I try to solve the error?

Richard MacCutchan 30-Dec-22 4:15am

How many times do I need to say this? There is a file missing from the download, and no one here can do anything about that. Go to the CFFI website at the link I gave you and ask there.

Aalam Pratap Bedi 30-Dec-22 4:35am

@Richard MacCutchan This is the 1st time I am facing this type of issue so its taking me sometime to understand whats going on. I'll proceed with your suggestion and hopefully im able to solve the issue.

Richard MacCutchan 30-Dec-22 5:05am

As I keep telling you, it is perfectly clear what the issues is. There is nothing you can do to solve it without finding out why this file has not been included in the download.
