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/python/2.7.1/Python-2.7.1.tgz
tar -zxvf Python-2.7.1.tar.gz
cd Python-2.7.1
mkdir ~/.localpython
./configure --prefix=/home/<user>/.localpython
make
make install
After coming to "./configure --prefix=/home//.localpython" command I get the following output:
checking for --enable-universalsdk... no
checking for --with-universal-archs... 32-bit
checking MACHDEP... linux3
checking EXTRAPLATDIR...
checking machine type as reported by uname -m... x86_64
checking for --without-gcc... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/home3/mikos89/Python-2.7.1':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
How can this problem be solved? I've been trying to find a solution for 3 hours but still stuck in one place.
UPDATE
Hostgator does not allow gcc on their shared accounts: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/pre-sales-questions/compatible-technologies
This question is related to

The gcc compiler is not in your $PATH
.
It means either you dont have gcc installed or it's not in your $PATH variable.
To install gcc use this: (run as root)
Redhat base:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
Debian base:
apt-get install build-essential
You will need to run
sudo apt-get install build-essential
first assuming you're on a debain/ubuntu system
you need to run
yum install gcc
Issue :
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
Fixed the issue by executing the following command:
yum install gcc
to install gcc.
You would need to install it as non root, since its shared hosting. Here is a tut that points how this step. http://luiarthur.github.io/gccinstall
cd ~/src
wget http://www.netgull.com/gcc/releases/gcc-5.2.0/gcc-5.2.0.tar.gz
or equivalent gcc source, then
tar -xvf gcc-5.2.0.tar.gz
cd gcc-5.2.0
./contrib/download_prerequisites
cd ..
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
$PWD/../gcc-5.2.0/configure --prefix=$HOME/gcc-5.2.0 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,go
make
make install
then add to .bashrc, or equivalent
export PATH=~/gcc-5.2.0/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/gcc-5.2.0/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/gcc-5.2.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
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.
Run apt-get install gcc
in Suse Linux
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
More details refer the link
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
firstsudo apt install build-essential
This worked for me.
On Arch Linux run the following:
sudo pacman -S base-devel
If you are using alphine with docker, do this:
apk --update add gcc make g++ zlib-dev
