sudo pip install -U pyaudio
sudo pip install -U pygsr

and I got the output (error) as below:

I solved this by using the following commands on ubuntu 16.04. Tested on python 3.7 and 3.5

sudo apt install portaudio19-dev python-pyaudio
pip install PyAudio

Well, I solved the problem by using the package manager,

 $ sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio

Although still has no clue why easy_install fails.
