          ********************************************************************************
          An error happened while installing `vllm` in editable mode.
  
          The following steps are recommended to help debug this problem:
  
          - Try to install the project normally, without using the editable mode.
            Does the error still persist?
            (If it does, try fixing the problem before attempting the editable mode).
          - If you are using binary extensions, make sure you have all OS-level
            dependencies installed (e.g. compilers, toolchains, binary libraries, ...).
          - Try the latest version of setuptools (maybe the error was already fixed).
          - If you (or your project dependencies) are using any setuptools extension
            or customization, make sure they support the editable mode.
  
          After following the steps above, if the problem still persists and
          you think this is related to how setuptools handles editable installations,
          please submit a reproducible example
          (see https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) to:
  
              https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues
  
          See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/development_mode.html for details.
