@janissl I also met this problem , but my system is Ubuntu , what should I do ?

[akornilo]

I just figured out the Unix solution: Download this file https://pypi.org/project/PyICU/#files, untar, then run python setup.py install

Im having the same issue, even after i installed ibicu-dev with sudo apt-get install libicu-dev

[MiguelNiblock]

I just figured out the Unix solution: Download this file https://pypi.org/project/PyICU/#files, untar, then run python setup.py install

I tried that on linux mint and I got this error:

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

[MiguelNiblock]

Then when running pip install PyICU it also fails.

gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
  error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

It was all solved after I did the following:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Then the following two could be installed successfully:

pip install PyICU and pip install pycld2

Then I could finally run polyglot.

[grofte]

Ubuntu

pip install polyglot
pip install pyicu
pip install pycld2
pip install morfessor

Is there any reason you can't set up the PyPI repository so that those are dependencies? Or at the very least write it in the installation section of your manual?
