Python: Can't install TA-lib in Oracle ARM64 VM ubuntu 20.04-CodePudding

The steps I used are below

apt install -y build-essential automake
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz  
tar zxvf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz 
cd ta-lib
cp /usr/share/automake-1.16/config.guess .
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && make install
pip install TA-Lib

The error I found in my terminal for pip install TA-Lib as below

CodePudding user response：

From what I can tell, the Anaconda latest distribution for AArch64 is broken with a corrupted _sysconfigdata__linux_aarch64-linux-gnu.py file in /lib/python3.9/. If you fix that file the TA-lib package will build properly. setup.py reads that file to get the build parameters to match the python install.

Patch file: https://gist.github.com/geoffreyblake/bcbb185b03e5343e82707abc6c5806a6

Issue opened to Anaconda repo: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/13106

Hopefully the Anaconda team will fix this quickly.

System python3.8 on Ubuntu20.04 is fine, FYI, if you can live with using that version for now.

CodePudding user response：

The problem be solved by uninstall anaconda.

I installed talib successfully in the original python of ARM64 Ubuntu 20.04.
