no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH when installing python

Question

I\'m trying to install new python environment on my shared hosting. I follow the steps written in this post:

mkdir ~/src
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/pytho         


        

Answer 1

sudo apt install build-essential is the command

But if you get the "the package can be found" kind of error, Run

• sudo apt update first
• then sudo apt install build-essential

This worked for me.

Answer 2

Issue :

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

Fixed the issue by executing the following command:

yum install gcc

to install gcc.

Answer 3

On Arch Linux run the following:

sudo pacman -S base-devel

Answer 4

Get someone with access to the root account on that server to run sudo apt-get install build-essential. If you don't know who has root access, contact the support team for your shared hosting and ask them.

Edit: If you aren't allowed access to root, you aren't ever going to get it working. You'll have to change hosting provider I'm afraid.

Answer 5

for Ubuntu / Debian :

# sudo apt-get install build-essential

For RHEL/CentOS

#rpm -qa | grep gcc
# yum install gcc glibc glibc-common gd gd-devel -y

or

 # yum groupinstall "Development tools" -y

Answer 6
