I get an error when I try to install the simple-crypt package on RHEL 6 (pip3.6 install simple-crypt). Error code below:
running build_ext
running build_configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/tmp/pip-build-a43nvnvj/pycrypto':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

From what I can tell, the issue is with GCC. When I try to install python-ldap I get a "gcc failed with exit status 1" error. Currently, the server I am working on is running gcc 4.4.7, so I am not sure if I need to update it or not. I have limited experience working with RHEL, so I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be appreciated.
