Installing dump1090exporter on Raspbian Bookworm

[jayant4001]

I'm unable to install dump1090exporter on Raspbian Bookworm. The pip3 installer shows an error while building aiohttp which looks like an upstream problem. I'm trying to install it in a venv virtual environment since Bookworm mandates this, but having no luck so far. Here's an excerpt from the installer log:

If anyone has managed to get around this, please let me know.

Thanks

I ran into the same after dist upgrading my Pi from Bullseye to Bookworm.
Only a dependency failed so I'm forcing that to a newer version and that works

sudo pip3 install --upgrade --break-system-packages --force-reinstall dump1090exporter aiohttp==3.10.10

Thanks mate! I'll try that out. I guess you didn't go the venv route and used break-system-packages instead.
