error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 on CentOS

Question

I'm trying to install lxml package on CentOS using sudo pip install lxml and its throwing this error right at the end:

error:

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

---------------------------------------

Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-root/lxml/setup.py';exec(compile(open(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-PjviBq-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-root/lxml
Storing complete log in /root/.pip/pip.log

[hg@user-centos-1 ~]$ error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
bash: error:: command not found

Can you share the relevant portion of /root/.pip/pip.log ? — damienfrancois

" 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.

I'm on centos and this worked: yum install python36-devel, followed by downloading your package (in my case python-ldap)

On fedora it's dnf install python3-devel

Package gcc-4.4.7-3.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version is already installed!!!!

Note that it reads 'command failed', not 'command not found '

Anuj Sharma Over a year ago

is there any other way to install gcc other than yum as it is not allowed in sagemaker.

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.

@damiefrancois - I tried installed those and I still get that error!

Do not try blindly. The error message states: Storing complete log in /root/.pip/pip.log so open that file, locate any errors and see exact error messages from gcc.

Installing python-devel fixed this for me. Thanks!

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

I'm not sure is the previous comment auto-generated, but I think I must reply here. I agree that my answer is already listed in aforementioned posts, but the problem there comes from different environment , different library.. At first, I tried to add an comment there, but I was unabled to do that because I have small reputation score.. Thanks for collaboration.

I wouldn't add another answer for a different platform. For example, I wouldn't expect there to be three answers for how to install pandas: pip install pandas for each of linux, windows, and mac. The other answer already has a comment centos, which has now been edited into that answer.
