  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Whenever I try to install numpy I get the following error (full error):

            SystemError: Cannot compile 'Python.h'. Perhaps you need to install python-dev|python-devel.
            [end of output]
      
        note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

However, I've already got numpy & cython installed so I don't understand why its failing:

Perhaps you need to install python-dev|python-devel.
