prophet: Error installing fbprophet with python 3.6.3 on ubuntu 16.04

I am trying to install fbprophet on ubuntu 16.04 with python 3.6.3… I tried pip3 install fbprophet but got an error:

    INFO:pystan:COMPILING THE C++ CODE FOR MODEL anon_model_1fdd477dd8bcc50395c4e25c8741f1c1 NOW.
    error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Here’s the full trace log:

$ pip3 install fbprophet
