Problem installing radian

[wasikulaminbipu]

I am facing issues when installing radian. My system data are

OS: Fedora 39
Python Version: 3.12.0
Pip version: 23.3.1
R version: 4.3.2

I have tried multiple solutions and even used chatgpt. but there is no solution that could solve my problem. I am not expert in this field. So, your help would help me to solve the issue.

1. I have tried both with sudo and non sudo method.
2. I have tried both -U and without -U.
3. I have tried reinstalling python, R and pip.
4. I also tried updating pip.
5. I tried installing rchitect manually.
6. I have tried installing required packages.
7. I have tried reinstalling wheel
   But no Luck!

stack Trace was:

I have exactly the same issue installing on Fedora. On Debian I could install just fine with pip install -U radian.

You need python3-devel, try sudo dnf install python3-devel (not tested)

[toxintoxin]

I have exactly the same issue on Win11, same version of Python, pip and R

This has fixed the issue for me. Now radian installs and runs perfectly on Fedora 39. Thanks!
