      psutil could not be installed from sources. Perhaps Python header files are not installed. Try running:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

You forgot to mention you're using Miniconda...
Old Python 3.9 Miniconda versions have corrupt CFLAGS configuration for arm64 that's causing binary extension builds to break.

You said you're using 3.9.6, which is quite old.
Seems like versions up to Python 3.9.12 shipping with Miniconda 4.12.0 is broken, so you'd want something newer than that (22.11.1-1 or newer).

Upgrade to the latest 3.9 release and try again, I believe it should fix it for you :)

To reproduce:

docker run --rm -it --init --platform linux/arm64 fedora:38

# In container:
dnf install -y gcc
cd /tmp
curl -O https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-py39_4.12.0-Linux-aarch64.sh
chmod +x Miniconda3-py39_4.12.0-Linux-aarch64.sh && ./Miniconda3-py39_4.12.0-Linux-aarch64.sh
# Install with default settings

. /root/miniconda3/bin/activate
pip install psutil

Hey im having a similar issue, when building docker container using GitHub actions:

I get the following error:

 gcc -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -fPIC -DPSUTIL_POSIX=1 -DPSUTIL_SIZEOF_PID_T=4 -DPSUTIL_VERSION=596 -DPy_LIMITED_API=0x03060000 -DPSUTIL_ETHTOOL_MISSING_TYPES=1 -DPSUTIL_LINUX=1 -I/usr/local/include/python3.9 -c psutil/_psutil_common.c -o build/temp.linux-aarch64-cpython-39/psutil/_psutil_common.o
#14 166.7       psutil could not be installed from sources because gcc is not installed. Try running:
#14 166.7         sudo apt-get install gcc python3-dev
#14 166.7       error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory
#14 166.7       [end of output]

UPDATE:

I ended up just installing python3 dev and gcc in my docker image:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install gcc python3-dev
