Installing on OpenWRT/LEDE

[vahid-dan]

Hi;

I am trying to install psutil on LEDE 17.01.4 with no success. Using either pip3 install psutil or manually compiling it, I get the following error:

unable to execute 'arm-openwrt-linux-gnueabi-gcc': No such file or directory

I should mention I've already installed python3-dev package.

Is there a way to cross-compile it? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Bests,
Vahid

Did you try sudo apt-get install build-essential?

Hi @giampaolo;

For OpenWRT, there is no build-essential package. Other packages installed by pip3 work fine, though.

This is the whole error message:

It seems it is trying to use a wrong compiler.

I guess it is a compiler error. I'm trying to fix it now.
