problem installing GDAL in linux mint os

[answerquest]

Hi, I found your project through https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Polygon_Filter_File_Format#Converting_to.2Ffrom_POLY_format

I'm on Linux Mint 19 OS, roughly equivalent to ubunt 18.04

This has been happening when I try to install GDAL - even with the original python2 version:

$ pip install -r requirement.txt

You need c++ compiler?
