An error occurred while installing tensorrt wheel. I used the link as a reference.  
([Installation Guide :: NVIDIA Deep Learning TensorRT Documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/tensorrt/install-guide/index.html#troubleshooting))

The attached text is the result of python3 -m pip install --upgrade tensorrt and the information obtained from jetson\_release which is helpful.

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