Scanner - install errors xattr - Ubuntu 16.10

[EldarAron]

Hello

Setting up a new server. Ubuntu 16.10.

When installing jottalib scanner I get an error. The setup script exits:
Setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

This is the full log of installing xattr:

Do you know what is happening? I think I have all dependencies.

Had the same problem. Installing cffi and updating pydev did it for me:

sudo apt-get install python-cffi python-dev
