error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 while installing eventlet

For Fedora:

sudo yum install python-devel

sudo yum install libevent-devel

and finally:

sudo easy_install gevent

For Redhat Versions(Centos 7) Use the below command to install Python Development Package

Python 2.7

sudo yum install python-dev

Python 3.4

sudo yum install python34-devel

Python 3.6

sudo yum install python36-devel

If the issue is still not resolved then try installing the below packages -

sudo yum install python-devel

sudo yum install openssl-devel

sudo yum install libffi-devel

What worked for me on CentOS was:

sudo yum -y install gcc
sudo yum install python-devel

Your install is failing because you don't have the python development headers installed. You can do this through apt on ubuntu/debian with:

sudo apt-get install python-dev

for python3 use:

sudo apt-get install python3-dev

For eventlet you might also need the libevent libraries installed so if you get an error talking about that you can install libevent with:

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
