Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
I encountered the same problem in college having installed Linux Mint for the main project of my final year, the third solution below worked for me.
When encountering this error please note before the error it may say you are missing a package or header file — you should find those and install them and verify if it works (e.g. ssl → libssl).
For Python 2.x use:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
For Python 2.7 use:
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
For Python 3.x use:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
or for a specific version of Python 3, replace x with the minor version in
sudo apt-get install python3.x-dev
Solution 2 - Python
> Python.h is nothing but a header file. It is used by gcc to build applications. You need to install a package called python-dev. This package includes header files, a static library and development tools for building Python modules, extending the Python interpreter or embedding Python in applications.
enter:
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
or
# apt-get install python-dev
see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-python-h-file-not-found-error-solution/
Solution 3 - Python
Try installing these packages.
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-pil python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev libssl-dev
sudo easy_install greenlet
sudo easy_install gevent
Solution 4 - Python
You need to install these packages:
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libffi-dev
Solution 5 - Python
For Python 3.4 use:
sudo apt-get install python3.4-dev
For Python 3.5 use:
sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev
For Python 3.6 use:
sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev
For Python 3.7 use:
sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev
For Python 3.8 use:
sudo apt-get install python3.8-dev
... and so on ...
Solution 6 - Python
$ sudo apt-get install gcc
$ sudo apt-get install python-dateutil python-docutils python-feedparser python-gdata python-jinja2 python-ldap python-libxslt1 python-lxml python-mako python-mock python-openid python-psycopg2 python-psutil python-pybabel python-pychart python-pydot python-pyparsing python-reportlab python-simplejson python-tz python-unittest2 python-vatnumber python-vobject python-webdav python-werkzeug python-xlwt python-yaml python-zsi
OR TRY THIS:
$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
Solution 7 - Python
For me none of above worked. However, I solved problem with installing libssl-dev.
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
This might work if you have same error message as in my case:
> fatal error: openssl/opensslv.h: No such file or directory ... .... > command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
Solution 8 - Python
In my case, it was missing package libffi-dev.
What worked:
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
Solution 9 - Python
In my case following command did the magic
sudo apt-get install gcc python3-dev
if the above command didn't work try following two commands
sudo apt-get install gcc python-dev
- this is the case when you want it to install for the python version set as default python in your machine.
Or
sudo apt-get install gcc python3.x-dev
2) where python3.x represent the version number of python installed on your machine.
Solution 10 - Python
on ubuntu 14.04:
sudo apt-file search ffi.h
returned:

pypy-doc: /usr/share/doc/pypy-doc/html/config/objspace.usemodules._rawffi.html
pypy-doc: /usr/share/doc/pypy-doc/html/rffi.html
I chose to install libffi-dev
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
worked perfectly
Solution 11 - Python
In my case pip was unable to install libraries, I tried solutions given above, but none worked but the below worked for me:
sudo apt upgrade gcc
Solution 12 - Python
Despite being an old question, I'll add my opinion.
I think the right answer depends on the error message of the gcc compiler, something like "Missing xxxx.h"
This might help in some cases:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev
Solution 13 - Python
This was enough for me:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Solution 14 - Python
In Linux Mint with python3
$ sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev
should be enough
Solution 15 - Python
below answer worked for me, you can try:
sudo apt-get install python3-lxml
Solution 16 - Python
> Error : error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
Executing sudo apt-get install python-dev solved the error.
Solution 17 - Python
After upgrade my computer with pip today, and check the other answers here, I can tell you that it could be ANYTHING. You should check error by error, looking for what's the specific library that you need. In my case, these were the libraries that I had to install:
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libvirt-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev
HTH
Solution 18 - Python
This works for me, 12.04, python2.7.6
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
sudo apt-get install lxml
Solution 19 - Python
Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with a virtualenv running python 3.5, I had to do:
sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev
The other commands:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
Did not help. I think this is because the virtualenv needs to rely on the system-wide python-dev package and it must match the virtualenv's python version. However, using the above commands installs python-dev for python 2.x and the python 3.x that comes with Ubuntu 14.04 which is 3.4, not 3.5.

Tip: Please do not consider this as an answer. Just to help someone else too.
I had similar issue while installing psycopg2. I installedbuild-essential, python-dev and also libpq-dev but it thrown same error.
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
As I was in hurry in deployment so finally just copied full line from @user3440631's answer.
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-imaging python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev
And It worked like a charm. but could not find which package has resolved my issue.
Please update the comment if anyone have idea about psycopg2 dependancy package from above command.
Solution 21 - Python
first you need to find out what the actual problem was. what you're seeing is that the C compiler failed but you don't yet know why. scroll up to where you get the original error. in my case, trying to install some packages using pip3, I found:
Complete output from command /usr/bin/python3 -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-4u59c_8b/cryptography/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-itjeh3va-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --user:
c/_cffi_backend.c:15:17: fatal error: ffi.h: No such file or directory
#include <ffi.h>
^
compilation terminated.
so in my case I needed to install libffi-dev.
Solution 22 - Python
In my case the command sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev resolved the issue. I was getting an error specific to the sql.h header file.
Solution 23 - Python
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
Lot of time I got the same error when installing M2Crypto & pygraphviz and installed all the things mention in the approved answer. But this below line solved all my problems with the other packages in approved answer too.
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev swig
sudo apt-get install -y graphviz-dev
This swig package saved my life as the solution for M2Crypto and graphviz-dev for pygraphviz. I hope this will help someone.
Solution 24 - Python
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-imaging python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev
sudo easy_install greenlet
sudo easy_install gevent
Solution 25 - Python
For me I had to make sure I was using the correct version of cryptography. pip.freeze had and older version and once I used the latest the problem when away.
Solution 26 - Python
For Centos 7 Use below command to install Python Development Package
Python 2.7 > sudo yum install python-dev
Python 3.4
> sudo yum install python34-devel
Still if your problem not solved then try installing below packages -
> sudo yum install libffi-devel > > sudo yum install openssl-devel
Solution 27 - Python
None of the above answers worked for me when I had the same issue on my Ubuntu 14.04
However, this solved the error:
sudo apt-get install python-numpy libicu-dev
Solution 28 - Python
For me it helped to install libxml2-dev and libxslt1-dev.
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
Solution 29 - Python

in the same case, please consider the typo (bug) in one of the installation files and edit it manually by changing "X509_REVOKED_dup" to "X509_REVOKED_dupe" (no quotes). I have edited the x509.h file:
> sed -e's/X509_REVOKED_dup/X509_REVOKED_dupe/g' -i > usr/include/openssl/x509.h
and it worked for me, but please consult with the post linked below, as they edited another file:
> sed -e's/X509_REVOKED_dup/X509_REVOKED_dupe/g' -i OpenSSL/crypto/crl.c

Like Robin Winslow says in a comment :
> I found my solution over here: stackoverflow.com/a/5178444/613540
In my case, my complete error message was :
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
I was trying to install torrench :
sudo python3 setup.py install
With given stackoverflow link, I solve this issue by :
sudo apt install zlib1g-dev
Note that the following packages were already installed :
libxslt1-dev is already the newest version.
python3-dev is already the newest version.
libxml2-dev is already the newest version.
Hope that will help !
Solution 31 - Python
In my case, it was oursql that was causing the same(generic) error as below.
In file included from oursqlx/oursql.c:236:0:
oursqlx/compat.h:13:19: fatal error: mysql.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
----------------------------------------
Failed building wheel for oursql
Running setup.py clean for oursql
So, I knew that I need to have libmysqlcppconn-dev package.
sudo apt-get install libmysqlcppconn-dev
And all good!
Solution 32 - Python
This Worked for me:
sudo apt install zlib1g-dev
Solution 33 - Python
In addition to some other helpful answers, if docker-compose brought you here--With your venv set, run:

After installing a lot of libraries, the one that worked for me! was swig:
sudo apt-get install swig
The error arose when installing python's M2Crypto library.
