This was the error I’m getting while running the docker build command.
I tried various techniques to solve this but none of them is worked
While giving the command docker build -t . on the directory where dockerfile is stored it gives this error.
Answers would be really appreciated
Docker file
FROM python:3.11-alpine
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
CMD python app.py

I recommend you do not use anything
alpine-based as base image for your containers, this will make many things more complex than necessary, it is not worth it.What I think happens is that there are no wheels versions of your libraries available for Alpine Linux (because it uses a different C standard library than all the other common Linux distributions), so pip tries to build from source, and fails because some build dependencies are not available.
@sinoroc already mentioned in his answer the main problem is the base image – alpine. As alpine is based on musl (instead of glibc I think is what most use as a C standard library), some python packages are missing the wheels file and therefor, pip falls back to the tar file and builds it from there. As this is totally viable, sometimes it does not work. In the case of numpy, for example, where parts of the code need to be replaced with the
muslequivalent C code.I wouldn’t say that there is no use for alpine images when it comes to python and you can easily (and fast) install numpy or any other python library by using the package manager
apk add py3-numpy.If you are curious, why the numpy package from the package manager works, it is because when building the package, a couple of patches are applied, which replace the needed parts of the code – see https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/tree/master/community/py3-numpy
