Installation via pip fails at Boost

Hello,

I am trying to install gym-doom on my Ubuntu 18.10 with Python 3.6.8 via:

pip3 install ppaquette-gym-doom

All dependencies are fulfilled:

sudo apt-get install -y python-numpy cmake zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev libboost-all-dev gcc libsdl2-dev wget unzip git
Reading package lists... Done

Apparently, it fails at doom-py part with:

-- Could NOT find Boost
-- Boost library python-py3:
-- Could NOT find Boost
-- Boost library python3:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:2063 (message):

No Boost libraries were found.  You may need to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the
directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of
Boost.

Failed building wheel for doom-py

I have tried to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR and BOOST_ROOT to /usr/include/boost, does not work.
Apparently, there are libboost-python files in:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python
libboost_python27.a libboost_python36.so.1.67.0 libboost_python3-py36.a
libboost_python27.so libboost_python37.a libboost_python3-py36.so
libboost_python27.so.1.67.0 libboost_python37.so libboost_python3.so
libboost_python36.a libboost_python37.so.1.67.0 libboost_python.a
libboost_python36.so libboost_python3.a libboost_python.so

I deeply appreciate any help!
Thank you and kind regards,

Well, following [https://github.com/hardmaru/WorldModelsExperiments/issues/12] got me one step further.
Now, when using doom-py, I've got:

RuntimeError: FATAL: module compiled as little endian, but detected different endianness at runtime
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "extract.py", line 11, in
from doomreal import _process_frame
File "/home/firu/WorldModelsExperiments/doomrnn/doomreal.py", line 6, in
import doom_py
File "/home/firu/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/doom_py/init.py", line 1, in
from doom_py.vizdoom import *

Now, there is a problem with the detection, as I am indeed using a x86_64 machine, which is a little endian.
