how could i solve this? thank you for all the answers

Solution

  • from another post seemed irrelevant i figure out the solution

    ImportError: No module named zbar on Linux Mint

    however only zbar-tools not enough for the good result, i put in

    sudo apt-get install zbar-

    and press the TAB then found zbar-dbg, just for a try, it really worked.

    sudo apt-get install zbar-tools zbar-dbg

    it really struck me while gcc errors caused by zbar problem indeed. maybe some inspire for the similar problem, so i put it here.
