I am currently trying to install PyAudio to use SpeechRecognition in python. I get the error fatal error: portaudio.h: No such file or directory

I installed portaudio19-dev, and it didn’t do anything. I can find the file under /usr/include/portaudio.h, but, again, it doesn’t find it. all dependencies for portaudio are installed as well. I tried both pip install PyAudio and pip install --user PyAudio. Neither work. I am on Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64 and use Pycharm 2024.1.1. Hope someone could help.
