error: legacy-install-failure on pip install

[mahalamobile]

hi, am running ubuntu 22.04, sudo pip install rocksdb produces....

.....
Cython.Compiler.Errors.CompileError: rocksdb/_rocksdb.pyx
[end of output]

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

× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> rocksdb

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.

any help appreciated!
