Failed grpcio wheel for sumocr

Interactive Scenarios & SUMO Interface
1

Dear everybody, I’m trying to to follow the tutorial at https://commonroad.in.tum.de/tools/sumo-interface but I am stuck right in installation.

Basically, I’m getting errors regarding grpcio dependency, specifically a failure to build wheel for grpcio (I have the full log but apparently can’t upload text attachments).

This happens on macOS Big Sur version 11.7 (20G817) with Python 3.9.13, pip 22.2.2 and up to date setuptools and wheel packages.

Here follows log excerpt (I can’t paste whole text), will appreciate help.

Unfortunately, this is a problem related to a third-party library on macOS.
Therefore, we can only provide limited support for this specific problem.

Maybe the solution here helps.
If not, maybe another solution on stackoverflow or in the issues or discussions of the grpcio github repository helps.

Thx for the reply, I hope it happened to others before.
Nevermind, will try to figure it out.

4

If you find a solution, please post it also here in the forum.

5

@smariani Please try Python 3.7. Maybe this works.

Dear @sebastian.maierhofer , sorry for the very late reply.

I’ve finally managed to fix the issue, hence I came back here to post the solution that worked for me in case anyone else stumbles upon the same problem

Log inspection traces error back to error
third_party/zlib/gzlib.c:252:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'lseek' is invalid in C99

	Solved by:

		i) `python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip`
		ii) `python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools`
		iii) `python3 -m pip install --upgrade wheel`
		iv) `export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DHAVE_UNISTD_H"` from [https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/25060#issuecomment-755538155](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/25060#issuecomment-755538155)

Then just re-issue the original pip install command

Hope it helps somebody sooner or later :smiley:
