stdlib.h - file not found -- when pip installing a python library

dundeemt

while trying to pip install pytaglib into a python virtual environment, the build process fails complaining that it can't find stdlib.h which is imported in Python.h
/usr/local/include/python3.11/Python.h:23:12: fatal error: 'stdlib.h' file not found

So, what is the correct way to install these header files on GhostBSD.

I've used Fbsd on servers with ports, etc, doing the whole build process. However, what is the proper way to get these header files. I'm assuming it is looking for it in the /user/SRC which does not exist in a standard install.

imho, linux dists have gone insane and I long for the stability and professionalism of a bsd environment for development. GhostBSD seems to be the ticket. Thanks

GhostBSD no longer comes with development tools preinstalled. To enable the capability to compile code and ports, install the GhostBSD*-dev packages. These packages include essential build tools, compilers, and libraries necessary for software development. Use the following command to install them:

sudo pkg install -g 'GhostBSD*-dev'

Thank you. That solved the issue.
