Setup tries to put headers into a system directory (permission error)

Hi @maudelejeune it seems that the setup tries to put something into a system dir. So if one is not root it seems to fail.

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

  DEPRECATION: A future pip version will change local packages to be built in-place without first copying to a temporary directory. We recommend you use --use-feature=in-tree-build to test your packages with this new behavior before it becomes the default.
   pip 21.3 will remove support for this functionality. You can find discussion regarding this at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7555.
