Install failed in MacOS 10.13.5 due to "src/viztracer/modules/snaptrace.c:7:10: fatal error: 'snaptrace.h' file not found" about viztracer HOT 1 CLOSED

This is a valid bug.

The reason it happens is because github VM did not behave as I expected (or as my machine did) when it's packing source file. The binaries worked well, but we only built binaries on Catalina(10.15), not Mavericks(10.9). When you try to install it from pip, it falls back to src tar and built from source, which lacks the header file by mistake.

I edit the MANIFEST.in to ensure header file is included in the source tar and fixed this issue on 0.3.2. However, I still recommend to upgrade your OS. 10.9 is a long time ago.

If you can install 0.3.2, you can close this issue(or I can do it if I did not hear from you again :) )
