Python error: failed building wheel for pillow

[u/Riikq_]

I'm trying to install marker-pdf and then hit with an error,

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

ERROR: Failed building wheel for pillow

Failed to build pillow

error: failed-wheel-build-for-install

× Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects

╰─> pillow

I've tried to upgrade pip, reinstalling setuptools, wheel, pillow, and none works, the error remains. What should I do?

OS: Arch Linux
Python: 3.14

Post the actual error. If you can't find it, paste the full output somewhere.

Why does the pillow need a wheel? Is it trying to get somewhere?
