We tried to resolve the errors and then waited more time for it to be done with compiling however we would face the same error regarding the wheel. So after some research, reading a Raspberry Pi forum we found another approach, that is to use the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS than using the 32-bit variant. |
