You need to install sth else before installing sphinx

[sniperwrb]

You need: "apt-get install libasound2-dev" before "pip install pocketsphinx".
Other wise you will get "fatal error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory".

Steps to reproduce

Follow the instruction to install Sphinx (apt-get install a lot of things, and then pip install posketsphinx), but do not install libasound2-dev.

Expected behaviour

Installation complete.

Actual behaviour

After a ton of outputs, the last lines says:
deps/sphinxbase/src/libsphinxad/ad_alsa.c:76:28: fatal error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

System information

My system is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64
My Python version is 3.5.2
My Pip version is 19.0.1
My SpeechRecognition library version is 3.8.1
I don't have PyAudio installed.
I installed PocketSphinx from pip.

Building PocketSphinx-Python from source was updated to include 'libasound2-dev'

It's OK to close this issue.
