I'm running CentOS 7. I want to install gcc (for the purposes of building Python 3 with the new openssl package I installed). I was reading here -- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19816275/no-acceptable-c-compiler-found-in-path-when-installing-python, that installing "Development Tools" was the truth and the light. But I don't seem to be able to ...

Here's some extra info about my system if needed

  • Do you get the same output from the yum command if your virtual environment is not activated? Commented May 9, 2020 at 20:36
  • That kernel version does not look like an up-to-date CentOS 7 install. I get 3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7.x86_64. Are you using a custom kernel? Commented May 9, 2020 at 20:38

In your console output it says: Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum)—did you do this?

Try running the following commands:

yum groups mark install "Development Tools" yum groups mark convert "Development Tools" yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

  • @AdminBee Thanks for the welcome! My post is the complete solution—I have run into the same issue previously, and the above commands do install "Development Tools". I will edit my post for clarity. Commented May 8, 2020 at 9:19
  • Hi @ThatsWhatSheCoded, I gave your solution a whirl (included output as an edit to my question), but sadly, no dice. Commented May 10, 2020 at 2:22
  • @Dave Would you please try running this command: yum groupinstall "Development Tools" --setopt=group_package_types=mandatory,default,optional. Additionally what is the output of the command yum grouplist? Commented May 12, 2020 at 2:30
  • Hi @ThatsWhatSheCoded, added both outputs as a second edit to my question. Basically "No packages in any requested group available to install or update" and then the list you were interested in. Commented May 13, 2020 at 21:54
  • @Dave It looks like the groupinstall command worked — what is the output of the command yum group update "Development Tools"? Has it not downloaded/installed any of the associated binaries (e.g. swig, bison, automake)? Commented May 13, 2020 at 22:44

Try:

yum group list

To see if yum can find the Development Tools under Available Groups. If it fails, try:

yum clean all yum group list

And see if it can find it. If it still fails, you might not have the correct mirrors enabled to resolve it.

try the clean command again and then:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base,updates group list

If you can find it. Great! Install with:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base,updates groupinstall "Development Tools"

If not so, can you give us the output of:

yum repolist all

EDIT:

Thank you for the output.

I found an article which state the following: "To install the CentOS Development tools, you will need to be able to connect to your Virtual Server using SSH, and work as the root user."

Try switching to user "root" (if you don't know the root login credentials, you can try sudo su. sudo also might work but I see you already have tried that...) and running the above commands.

Lastly, you can try and enable these "sources" repos:

  • CentOS-7 - Base Sources
  • CentOS-7 - Extras Sources
  • CentOS-7 - Updates Sources

And than running yum update followed by groupinstall.

Let me know if that doesn't work. Good luck!

Check your mirror and make sure you have base, extras and updates.

I was also trying the same to isntall Development Tools for CentOS 7 but couldn't make a way. Finally I did something alternative.

You can install the following, this also includes basic development tools and there is a high chance it will meet your need:

yum install devtoolset-9 scl enable devtoolset-9 bash
