I'm a new enthusiast trying to learn with raspberry pi so I apologize if I don't use the correct programming terms...

The problem that i'm having at the moment is that when I try pip install rpi-gpio i get the following error:

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

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

----------------------------------------
Cleaning up...
Command /var/working/venv/bin/python2 -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-7BUUIX/rpi.gpio/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-x_nNzV record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers /var/working/venv/include/site/python2.7 failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-7BUUIX/rpi.gpio
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log
-------------------------------------------------

I'm using minibian as the operative system, I have already installed apt-get install python2.7-dev

I'm on a Pi3

EDIT_01: I have tried to apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf and I get this error: E: Unable to locate package gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

enter image description here

EDIT_02: I tried manual installation of RPi.GPIO and I'm getting an error when I try to run sudo python RPi.GPIO-0.6.3/setup.py

ERROR

    sudo python RPi.GPIO-0.6.3/setup.py Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "RPi.GPIO-0.6.3/setup.py", line 40, in <module> 
long_description = open('README.txt').read() + open('CHANGELOG.txt').read(), IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.txt''

It somehow doesn't find the README.txt file but I checked and It was succesfully extracted from the download.

Try :

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev
sudo pip install rpi-gpio

Edit1: Just noticed your using minibian - what is the reason for this ?

Edit2: Added 'install gcc...'

May manual installation work for you. You have to follow steps shown below.

Step-1:Download the library

wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/e2/58/6e1b775606da6439fa3fd1550e7f714ac62aa75e162eed29dbec684ecb3e/RPi.GPIO-0.6.3.tar.gz

step-2: Extract the archive to new directory

tar -xvf RPi.GPIO-0.6.3.tar.gz

Step-3: Browse to the new directory

cd RPi.GPIO-0.6.3

Step-4: Install the library

sudo python3 setup.py install

Step-5: Remove the directory and archive file

cd ~ 
sudo rm -rf RPi.GPIO-0.*

Note: You should take care about step-2 and step-3. Since I have no idea about the tar.gz file gets downloaded into which directory.

In one of your replies to others, you mentioned you are using minibian.

Originally you have the error

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

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

and you tried unsuccessfully to

apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

but the package could not be located.

Do this after you ssh into your minibian

apt-get update

apt-get install build-essential

then go to wherever your working directory is and start your virtual environment

cd /var/working

. venv/bin/activate

and try again with the rpi.gpio install and it should now work for you, as it did for me.

pip install rpi.gpio
