Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

Tried Following this

GPIO control - need some help

It seems like pip install rpi.gpio may be slightly naive on the maintainer’s part as it attempts to invoke a cross compiler. Try running the following commands before that pip install command: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/ I don’t know if this will work – i have not looked intensively at the rpi.gpio script, but hope this helps. Sam

now i get
source/py_gpio.c:23:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

#include “Python.h”

                ^

compilation terminated.

error: command ‘arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc’ failed with exit status 1
