Looks like I had to follow this post:

https://www.tutorialexample.com/fix-python-pip-install-link-fatal-error-lnk1158-cannot-run-rc-exe-error-python-tutorial/

Copy rc.exe and rcdll.dll to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin

Installed after that.

I'm also having this issue on MacOS 12.4. And I'm using python 3.8. Any suggestions?
