[syther05]

Yes,

@syther05 I apologize for the delay getting back, life getting in the way...

Can you try pip installing the attached development package to see if this will install for you? Please let me know the outcome.

pip3 install pi-sht1x-1.0.9b0.tar.gz

pi-sht1x-1.0.9b0.tar.gz

[syther05]

@drohm Thank you, I appreciate your reply.

I downloaded the file, but still get this?

Try this version:

pi-sht1x-1.0.9rc0.tar.gz

[syther05]

Same error as before unfortunately .
Could there be any dependencies i'm missing?

I have a clean install of Archlinux running on a Pi3 B;
Linux alarmpi 4.4.22-1-ARCH #1 SMP Sat Sep 24 16:34:42 MDT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

pip3 is installed of course.

[drohm]

I'm looking into it still. I haven't tried running Arch on my Pi3 before so it may well be a dependency, but I'm not 100% sure. Check to see if python-dev is installed, and if not install it and try again. I'll keep investigating in the meantime.

[prybintsev]

I've sent a pull request fixing the issue:
#13

[drohm]

Merged.
