I found this issue when installing the solc-select with pip and I also have a similar error message when installing the package with
git clone https://github.com/crytic/solc-select.git
cd solc-select
python3 setup.py install

How should I do to fix this issue? Thank you!

It looks like this pystrhex.h header file that the pysha3 dependency requires to build was removed in Python 3.11. You'll need to use Python 3.10 or earlier for the time being.

We have been wanting to remove the pysha3 dependency across the crytic tools as the library is unmaintained, and this is a good reason to prioritize doing so, so I'm hoping this will not be an issue for long 👍

Thank you for the information! I just downgraded to python 3.9, and I could install solc-select successfully. I hope it will be fixed soon so that the latest Python can work with the solc-select 👍
