Installation fails step fails due to missing C header

The command python3 -m pip install primify fails with the attached output.

It looks like the install script is invoking clang to build some C code, but there is a missing header: gmp.h. I double checked the the gmp lib is installed on my system. I have the header on disk but clang is not being passed the correct include path so it is not found at compile time.

You need libgmp-dev, not just libgmp. Make sure you have both installed.

It should be noted that gmpy2 is a completely optional dependency and that the tool will work without it - albeit many times slower.

@UFifty50 with brew the only option seems to be brew install gmp. This Stack Overflow thread suggests this would be sufficient. Tried it and no dice.

@LeviBorodenko Is there a flag I can pass to install without gmp?

Thanks! 😊

I have a similar error but it is missing mpfr.h

Unfortunately I am not able to recreate this problem. Maybe due to not using a Mac.
What exactly is the scale of this issue? If we can identify which os platform/version is affected, one can use setuptools to make sure that everyone else gets gymp2 by default.
