Does anyone know why this is happening and how to solve?

Answer 1

Developments files are needed. Those files are installed with the portaudio19-dev package.

sudo apt install portaudio19-dev

Answer 2

When I use docker to dockerize my flask application I recieved this error so I solved this problem with this command. I just paste this in my Dockerfile

apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
        libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 portaudio19-dev \
        python3-dev \
        build-essential \
        && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
