I have no clues anymore. Totally removed python from my system and reinstalled it. Also with pip install bsddb3 I get a similar problem. However, I could install pandas without problems.

Answer 1

You can try installing bsddb first as follows

pip install bsddb3-6.1.1-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

if that does'nt work try this

$ sudo apt install libdb-dev
$ pip install bsddb3
