Error when trying to install the sparkfun_ublox_gps required packges to work with zed-f9r

Question

When following the install guide from sparkfun, at the last step when trying to install the package using pip I get these error (with and without sudo). I am currently running the latest version of raspberry pi os but installed python 3.8 to use with the sparkfun tools. The sparkfun guide and github pages are included below.
