Trouble installing pyvoronoi with pip

[Connor Ferster]

I installed pyvoronoi on my home machine earlier this week without incident (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS) via pip with Anaconda3-5.2.0. However, I just now attempted installing it with pip on my linode (also Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS with the same Anaconda3-5.2.0) and received the following error messages:

Additionally, I tried to clone from git and received the following errors:

Any thoughts on why this happened and how to fix? I plan on incorporating pyvoronoi into a release of my own because of Boost's ability to build diagrams around line segments.

Running the following will fix gcc and allow pyvoronoi to compile during install:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential
