Installing the Python-devel Development Kit

1. Overview

Sometimes when you install certain software, you get an error:

 for 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Find Install Python2. 4-devel, Python2. 5-devel, Python2. 6-devel or Python2. 7-devel

This is due to the lack of a Python development package.

2. Solution

If you are using a CentOS system, or a system that supports Yum, you can install it in the following ways:

Yum grep -I. devel

The above command will find the Devel development package and then run the following command to install it:

Yum  Install python-devel.x86_64
