Not sure if this is helpful, but under the latest copy of Raspbian I was able to install RPi.GPIO directly from the main repositories using apt-get as follows:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install python-rpi.gpio
If you're running Python 3 (idle3 on the command line) instead of Python 2 (python on the command line) you need to install the RPi.GPIO library with this command instead:
sudo apt-get -y install python3-rpi.gpio

Assuming you have pip, the python package index installer, which is installed on the latest versions of Raspbian by default
You can use:
sudo pip install RPi.GPIO for Python 2
and
sudo pip-3.2 install RPi.GPIO for Python 3

As of version 20.10, Ubuntu does not come with Python 2 installed as it is deprecated. It does have python 3. You use python3 to run python and pip3 to install modules.

If you are using Raspbian, all you need to do to install the latest release is: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade $ sudo apt-get install python-rpi.gpio python3-rpi.gpio ------------ If you want to build your own version from this downloaded copy, make sure that you have the Python development source installed first! On Raspbian: $ sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev To install the module: $ sudo python setup.py install or $ sudo python3 setup.py install But as stated, there is version, maybe not the latest version, pre-installed with raspbian wheezy OS.

You cannot install rpi-lgpio and rpi-gpio (aka RPi.GPIO, the library it emulates) at the same time, in the same Python environment. Both packages attempt to install a module named RPi.GPIO and obviously this will not work.
