Command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 when installing pydeep - gcc

Question

I am trying to install pydeep via pip install pydeep on a CentOS 64b, but i get this:
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1. Tried to install gcc and many others like python-dev, etc. but still no result. I also cloned it from GitHub and tried to:
python setup.py build but I get the same problem (note that I already have libssdeep).

For anyone else stumbling on this, running the following fixed the pydeep compile problems for me in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install python-dev libfuzzy-dev
pydeep's setup.py needs to be run as root
