Issue installing from git

[hairymanmex]

I'm having a problem installing stable retro from the git repository.

I'm able to install stable retro using pip. Although when I try to install from git I get this error.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for stable-retro

I'm running arch linux, python 3.10.15 "although tried version 3.9 to 3.12 and get the same error".

I tried installing an older version of gym-retro and ended up with the same errors.

looking online for similar issues, I found the issue is with gcc version 14.

I did try setting environment variables to gcc-13, but this was unsuccessful

I found I had to install gcc13 and to simlink cc to gcc13.

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-13 /usr/bin/cc

I was able to succesfuly install stable retro after this.

I also removed the gcc-13 symlink when I was done, by setting it back to the regular gcc. So I would not run into other system issues later.
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
