I need to install a system that uses fastText onto an Amazon Linux machine.
As practice, I have been trying to build fastText from source inside an Amazon Linux 2 docker image. I noticed gcc wasn't installed by default, so I installed it first. However, running the pip3 install . command inside the fastText directory gives me the following error, also shown in the screenshot below.
RuntimeError: unsupported compiler -- at least C++11 support is needed!
I tried to look for libraries that would give explicit C++11 support, even though gcc >= 4.8 already should, so I installed libcxx.x86_64 from the Fedora EPEL repository, but that did not help.
Neither this question which applies more to Ubuntu-based images nor this question which refers to a separate pip install (and thus may not give the specific version I need) have the answer I'm looking for.
Edited to add compiler params and error message before the traceback:
