I'm trying to setup gitfs for SaltStack, using the pygit2 method. I've installed pygit2 and libgit2 on my machine:
[root@r9tvap1109 site-packages]# yum list installed | grep git2
libgit2.x86_64 0.21.5-1.el7 @epel
python-pygit2.x86_64 0.21.4-2.el7 @epel
I've also installed the python-devel package. This is all for Python 2.7.
Whenever I try to import the pygit2 package to test if it was installed correctly I get a bunch of cffi warnings and errors. That ends with this stack trace:
pygit2/__pycache__/pygit2_cffi_c721781dxbf062fb5.c:6893:21: error: (near initialization for ‘nums[19]’)
Traceback (most recent call last):

cffi.ffiplatform.VerificationError: CompileError: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
Here is a list of things I've tried:
- uninstalling/reinstalling (using yum)
- Installing libgit2 via binaries, then trying to install pygit2 using pip (also fails due to GCC compiler error).
- Verified that I have a GCC compiler installed
- Tried moving cffi file found in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages to [..]pygit2/pycache/
- Done some searching on other questions - I found this link See comment by JDavid about half way down about 2 solutions
Any help is appreciated
