Problem installing scikit-image

General
1

I’m having problems with scikit-image and Docker. It works fine in non-virtual environment on Ubuntu 22.04.1 and Python 3.11.1, of course. Here is my Dockerfile:

FROM python:3-slim
ADD arc-1.py /
RUN pip install numpy matplotlib more_itertools scikit-image[alldeps]
CMD ["python", "./arc-1.py"]

I also tried:

FROM python:3-slim
ADD arc-1.py /
RUN pip install numpy matplotlib more_itertools scikit-image
CMD ["python", "./arc-1.py"]

Docker build ends with this error in both cases:

#7 119.4   Building wheel for scikit-image (pyproject.toml): finished with status 'error'
#7 119.4   error: subprocess-exited-with-error

Is there a solution to this problem? Prebuild docker image with scikit-image, perhaps?

I added build-essential package, reordered pip package sequence and it solved the problem. Here is the new Dockerfile:

FROM python:3-slim
ADD arc-1.py /
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt update && apt install -y build-essential && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN pip install scikit-image numpy matplotlib more_itertools
CMD ["python", "./arc-1.py"]
