I'm trying to use pip install recordlinkage to install the recordlinkage library. Till now this command has worked for all other modules I've downloaded like pandas, arrow, etc.
However, I started getting a series of errors since I ran pip install recordlinkage. I'm using Python 3.11.1
Initially, I was getting the error -

From what I could figure out, it looked like I was getting errors while installing "scipy" which is dependent on recordlinkage. And from this ERROR: Unknown compiler(s): [['ifort'], ['gfortran'], ['flang'], ['pgfortran'], ['g95']] I figured, a gcc compiler was needed to be installed. I did that and the new error that I'm getting is this -

Now the main error seems to be this ERROR: Could not invoke sanity test executable: [WinError 5] Access is denied. Along with this I get this Pop up message -

Is there a better way to install recordlinkage? Or is there a way to fix this error?
In the Python 3.11 update, there was a big push for Faster cPython, so the behavior overall could be pretty different. I remember when 3.11 came out, I couldn't even pip install pygame, because it was incompatible until they updated the pygame package. I would recommend falling back to Python 3.10 then trying it.
