I'm trying to install paramiko module in my linux server. The pip is blocked on the server, So i am manually copying the package zips and installing them from setup.py
when i try installing paramiko i get
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pynacl>=1.0.1')
so i download the PyNaCl package, but i get
distutils.errors.DistutilsError: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('cffi>=1.1.0')
pynacl needs cffi 1.1.0 above: so while installing cffi1.11.5 i get the below error:
[[email protected]]# python3.5 setup.py install
running install

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find XYZ
also appears when linking with -static
and there is no libXYZ.a
. Development packages typically contain the .a versions, although some distros seem to think static libraries are antiquated enough to drop support completely. You may have to build the library from source.

If this is a Debian or Ubuntu machine,
sudo apt install libffi-dev
and then try again.
For other distributions, the installation method and package name may be different.
