https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6675In the past, we reported multiple times issues to pip when ctypes is not avialable (for different reasons), but it seems to be a lost battle: ctypes is commonly used (directly by pip, or by pip dependencies), so instead we try to ensure that ctypes is built on buildbots.

Anyway. Red Hat provides precompiled Python 3.6 for Centos 7: https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/rh-python36/ About your error, you likely miss some header files, like libffi-devel: sudo yum install -y libffi-develThat issue has been reported some times before as well at bpo. Maybe providing a proper error message for the missing libffi headers would be good, as the current one is quite cryptic.Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
