The problem
Went through the most recent installation docs and came across this error. Not sure what else to mention, but here's some potentially helpful version information:
$ uname -a

$ python3 --version
Python 3.11.0rc1
$ pip3 --version

You could try installing the latest version of PIP:
sudo pip3 install -U pipThen try installing lnxlink again.
That did the trick! Thanks!
Gonna close this, but perhaps it would be a good idea to mention a minimum pip3 version to the install docs?
It never occurred to me that it would be a problem, but I will add it as an installation procedure
