Question

The below error occurs while installing pyradiomics packages using python setup.py install

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdlib.h': No such file or directory error: command 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\bin\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

Answer 1

This error indicates your compiler can't find the required header files to compile the PyRadiomics C Extensions' source code.

The easiest solution is to get the latest PyRadiomics wheel from PyPi ( pip install pyradiomics ), which are precompiled for 64-bit Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.4, 3.4 on windows, linux and mac.
