Installing pyindi-client on ubuntu raspberry pi was created by Aylin

This might be an easily answerable question, but it's really got me stumped. I'm redownloading pyindi-client following www.indilib.org/develop/indi-python-bindings.html. At
--> pip3 install --user --install-option="--prefix=" pyindi-client

I get an error:
arm-linux-genueabihf-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -g -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/libindi -I/usr/include/python3.5m -c indiclientpython_wrap.cpp -o build/temp.linux-armv7l-3.5/indiclientpython_wrap.o -std=c++11

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

I'm not sure what's going on, because last time I went through the process it went without a hitch.

I figured it out. It was a permissions issue that I solved by running:
sudo chmod 777 /home/user/.cache/pip
and
sudo chmod 777 /home/user/.cache/pip/*
I'm not sure why this was causing the issue, especially since I also tried downloading pyindi-client from pypi.org/project/pyindi-client/#description where I don't remember using pip and it was also causing the same issue. Again, probably something really stupid, but I guess atleast it's working now.

I'm getting nearly the same error when installing pyindi-client:

# pip3 install --user --install-option="--prefix=" pyindi-client


I get a few warnings:
/usr/include/libindi/baseclient.h:33: Warning 322: Redundant redeclaration of 'MAXRBUF',
    /usr/include/libindi/indibase.h:8: Warning 322: previous declaration of 'MAXRBUF'.

and a few errors:

    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Also, when trying to install system-wide, I get the same error but also an additional failure early in the script:

I did try setting the permissions as mentioned above but that had no effect. Does anyone have any ideas?

I got it to compile but needed to modify the setup.cfg file to remove the lib entry for z.
