I am trying to install mujoco-py. when import mujoco_py, we get an error message of “distutils.errors.CompileError: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1"。 Here is the detail

distutils.errors.CompileError: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1`

We installed python=3.5.4, gym=0.10.5, anaconda=4.5.11, gcc =7.3.0. The mujoco150 has been downloaded and unzipped to the directory ”~/.mujoco/mjpro150"， and we add a line in the .bashrc “export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/root/.mujoco/mjpro150/bin"

We tried everything in these website but still get the error.

[machinaut]

you're missing the "GL/osmesa.h" header file, which is installed by a different package.

where are your mesa library headers installed?

[machinaut]

closing because I'm pretty sure this means mesa headers are not installed.

please reopen if this is not the case, though!
