Answer 1

I was having troubles with this for a while. FYI I'm trying to install Crossbar (https://crossbar.io/docs/Installation-on-Linux/)

I did a bunch of googling and messed around quite a bit. I'm using Python 3.7.4 and what I think solved my problem is this :

sudo yum install python-devel

if that doesn't work try

sudo yum install python3-devel
