Getting below error when installing speex module in python 3.4.2. What could the issue?

Missing documentation,
But you can try: sudo apt-get install build-essential libspeex-dev
Then rerun your command

@chan71
To complement @titilambert's reply

On Windows (cygwin) you can use Cygwin to install the following :

• speex
• speex-devel
• speexdsp
• speexdsp-devel

On Mac (homebrew): brew install speex speexdsp

[titilambert]

Ho !
So I guess on the following command should be good on ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libspeex-dev libspeexdsp-dev libpulse-dev

Thanks @samueldg
