i tried installing the library through pip, it installed without errors, when i tried installing through the methods described in the readme, the last command that succeds is the scons one, when i try to python3 ./setup.py build even with sudo i get an error:

Looks like this is a duplicate of #290

I'm not sure what the issue at hand is, but I recommend simply installing rpi_ws281x with pip if Python support is your objective.
