Answers:

Is gcc installed?

sudo yum install gcc

I bet you have to install libxml2-devel or libxml++-devel or even python-devel. But it is only a wild guess, not seeing the actual error from the log file. But it seems gcc is missing either a header file or a library file.

” error: command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1 “. the installation failed because of missing python-devel and some dependencies.

the best way to correct gcc problem:

You need to reinstall gcc , gcc-c++ and dependencies.

For python 2.7

$ sudo yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
$ sudo yum -y install python-devel libxslt-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel
$ pip install "your python packet"

For python 3.4

$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev
$ pip install "your python packet"

Hope this will help.

How i solved

# yum update
# yum install -y https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
# yum install -y python36u python36u-libs python36u-devel python36u-pip
# pip3.6 install pipenv

I hope it will help Someone to resolve “gcc” issue.

sudo yum install python36 python36-devel python36-libs python36-tools

if using python36, this is the best path for set up. Corrected this error for me on an aws ec2 instance

I faced this issue on CentOS while installing Fasttext. The issue is fixed with the following.

yum install centos-release-scl
yum install scl-utils-build
yum install devtoolset-9
scl enable devtoolset-9 bash

Reference: https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/issues/1105#issuecomment-667041482

If the above doesn’t work, then try:

yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel -y
