python gcc and setuptools error during lxml installation

Question

I am trying to install LXML on centos (amazon linux AMI).

I have installed the following prereqs:

sudo yum install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
sudo yum install zlib-devel
sudo pip install setuptools
sudo yum install python-devel

I then install lxml with:

sudo pip install lxml

I get the following gcc error:

My gcc version is: gcc (GCC) 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-9)

My python version is: Python 2.7.12

How can I get past this error to install LXML ?

I installed those I mentioned above:

sudo yum install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
sudo yum install zlib-devel
sudo pip install setuptools
sudo yum install python-devel

And these two did the trick:

sudo yum install glibc-devel glibc-headers
Sudo yum groupinstall "Development tools”



sudo pip install lxml
