I installed Python 2.7.15rci and Python 3.6.7 on Ubuntu. When i did 'pip list' on virtualenv it returns me:
Django (2.1.5)
pip (9.0.1)
pkg-resources (0.0.0)
pytz (2018.9)
setuptools (39.0.1)
wheel (0.32.3)
I'm trying to install mysqlclient (pip install mysqlclient) and returns an error.
unable to execute 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc': No such file or directory
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

So, I have tried different methods found like:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
and some more... but none of them work for me and the problem persists. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
gcc is part of the build-essential package, which you should install before anything else:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
UPDATE: Following @bosnjak's suggestion, you also might need to install the openssl developer tools:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
