uWSGI installation exception on Amazon Linux EC2 instance - django

Question

I'm a newbie trying to set a server for my first phone-App on Amazon EC2 with nginx, django, uWSGI and mySQL.
I'm following those tutorials (actually the second is based on the first one):
http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html
http://www.oliverelliott.org/article/computing/tut_setup_nginx_django/
I'm using a MacbookPro and once in terminal I ssh into the Amazon Linux EC2 instance.
When it comes to install uwsgi..troubles arise.
I executed:
$ sudo yum install python-pip
$ sudo yum install python-devel
$ sudo pip install uwsgi
First two worked fine, last command thrown an exception:
Downloading/unpacking uwsgi
Running setup.py egg_info for package uwsgi
Installing collected packages: uwsgi
Running setup.py install for uwsgi
using profile: buildconf/default.ini

I've tried two suggestions I read, but doesn't seem to work for me:
$ export CC=gcc && pip install -r requirements.txt
and
$ sudo CC=gcc pip install uwsgi
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance!!

Answer 1

I was helped by this link: uWSGI: Installing from a distribution package
I did:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install python-devel
and then:
pip install uwsgi
and after that it works.

Answer 2

This installation helped me:
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum install python3-devel
