Unable to install flask-mongoengine – Debian

Getting errors when trying to install flask-mongoengine on Win10 computer with WSL2/Debian. Am able to install other project dependencies without issue.

Command entered was: python3 -m pip install flask-mongoengine, error output follows)

Have tried doing similar using sudo, with no improvement.
