Seeing error while installing grpcio-tools ==1.18.0

[Ramana Reddy]

We are trying to install python3 -m pip install grpcio==1.18.0 on the Ubuntu 24.04 machine with python3.12. But we seeing the following error:

          self._compile(obj, src, ext, cc_args, extra_postargs, pp_opts)
        File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/_distutils/unixccompiler.py", line 187, in _compile
          raise CompileError(msg)
      distutils.errors.CompileError: command '/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1

      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for grpcio
  Running setup.py clean for grpcio
Failed to build grpcio
ERROR: Could not build wheels for grpcio, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

This is the case with installing grpcio == 1.48.1 as well. 

How we can install old versions ( other than the default versions) in the system. 

We can build these grpcto-tools and grpc-io from the grpc source as well. In that process, grpcio-tools bring a protoful version from the cached wheel. How can I specify the protobuf version( this should be reflected here: python3 -m grpc.tools.protoc --version)  which I installed on the system. We have been using the old protoc and protobuf-c and want to use the same for sometime and trying to bring the compatible grpcio and grpcio-tools 

Thanks & Regards,

Ramana

Ramana, this message implies a compilation issue. Search higher in the logs for the string "error: ". It's likely that you simply need to install a build dependency.

Thanks,

It seems to the python code has been changed a lot and could not able to compile with python3.12
