mujoco py install error - fatal error: GL/osmesa.h: No such file or directory

[eastskykang]

during mujoco-py installation,

 /tmp/pip-install-rsxccpmh/mujoco-py/mujoco_py/gl/osmesashim.c:1:23: fatal error: GL/osmesa.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

might appear.

It can be resolved with

$ sudo apt-get install libosmesa6-dev

[eastskykang]

Need to update README or wiki.

The fix can be found here: https://github.com/openai/mujoco-py#ubuntu-installtion-troubleshooting
sudo apt install libosmesa6-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libglfw3

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libosmesa6-dev : Depends: libosmesa6 (= 20.0.8-0ubuntu118.04.1ppa1) but it is not going to be installed

Do you know how to solve this problem? thanks!

[Jaeyoung-Lim]

@SHITIANYU-hue You probably have dependency conflicts on your system.
Have you tried installing libmesa6 directly?

[SHITIANYU-hue]

Yes, I downloaded it here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/ubuntu/updates/+build/19465714.
However, I still have this problem😭
