[Python] ERROR: Could not build wheels for cx_Oracle, which is required to install...

I am trying to install cx_Oracle in Redhat Linux and facing the below error. I have tried many ways, downgrading the python from 3.9 to 3.8, upgrading setuptools. Nothing has resolved it.

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