Can't Install pystemd

Python Help

I followed the instructions for pystemd but am getting the following errors. It’s in a virtual environment (wc) if that matters. Looking for advice.


(wc) pi@wethCAM:/media/work/bw $ python -m pip install pystemd
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple

      Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libsystemd.pc'
      to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
      Package 'libsystemd', required by 'virtual:world', not found
      `pkg-config --modversion libsystemd` failed. Please ensure all prerequisite packages from README.md are installed.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Problem solved. Googled " Package libsystemd was not found in the pkg-config search path." and found this post. Under Trouble Shooting found installing libsystemd which I could have sworn I’d already check. Solution

sudo apt-get install libsystemd-dev pkg-config
