python - picframe Install on Raspberry Pi 3B, Bullseye OS, pi-heif wheel fails to build

Novice Raspberry Pi user here trying to build a digital picture frame. The problem I'm running into is the pi-heif wheel won't successfully build.

I'm using Python3.11.2, the latest libheif library is installed, and I've run all the precursory installs necessary (sudo apt-get update, python3 -m pip install -U pip, etc).

Looking through pi-heif or pillow-heif documentation doesn't provide any alternative install options or troubleshooting help.

When trying to run python3 -m pip install pi-heif or any variation of it, I'm given the error codes :

error: command '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc' failed with exit code 1
ERROR: Failed building wheel for pi-heif

I'm wondering if anyone has run into a similar problem or successfully installed pi-heif on their raspberry pi? It seems to fail building on the Bookworm OS but there are a number of accounts I can find of people using picframe on their raspberries. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Requirement already satisfied: pillow>=10.1.0 in ./vene/lib/python3.11/site-packages (from pi-heif) (11.0.0)

You need to install latest PILLOW version 11.0.0.

Mine is older version 9.5.0.

On your side, you need to install python3 -m pip install wheel before install pi-heif.

Today, I tried your command python3 -m pip install pi-heif

Here you can see my output using Bullseye Pi 3B:
