ERROR: Could not build wheels for hdbscan, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

The Bertopic installation, (Edit- Python Version 3.9.12)

pip install bertopic

fails by throwing the below error :

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

ERROR: Failed building wheel for hdbscan Failed to build hdbscan ERROR: Could not build wheels for hdbscan, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects`

However, when I searched stackoverflow - the provided solution is not helping me.

Any lead on how to fix this?

Ah, now I see. This is a gcc issue. I believe you can find the solution for installing HDBSCAN on a Linux environment here.
