I am running Linux (2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.centos.plus) and trying to install pyodbc. I am doing pip install pyodbc and get a very long list of errors, which end in
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
I looked in /root/.pip/pip.log and saw the following:
InstallationError: Command /usr/local/bin/python -c "import setuptools; file='/home/build/pyodbc/setup.py'; execfile('/home/build/pyodbc/setup.py')" install --single-version-externally-managed --record /tmp/pip-7MS9Vu-record/install-record.txt failed with error code 1
Has anybody had a similar issue installing pyodbc?

pyodbc is a Python DB conformant module for ODBC databases. This tutorial shows how to use pyodbc with an ODBC driver, which you can download from this site. You can then connect Python on Linux and Unix to remote database such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle®, DB2, Microsoft Access, Sybase ASE and InterBase.
pyodbc is an open source Python module that makes accessing ODBC databases simple. It implements the DB API 2.0 specification but is packed with even more Pythonic convenience. Precompiled binary wheels are provided for most Python versions on Windows and macOS.
On Ubuntu, you'll need to install unixodbc-dev:
sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev Install pip by using this command:
sudo apt-get install python-pip once that is installed, you should be able to install pyodbc successfully:
pip install pyodbc I resolved my issue by following correct directions on pyodbc - Building wiki which states:
On Linux, pyodbc is typically built using the unixODBC headers, so you will need unixODBC and its headers installed. On a RedHat/CentOS/Fedora box, this means you would need to install unixODBC-devel:
yum install unixODBC-devel
