installation fails on CentOS 5.5

I downloaded pyodbc-3.0.7 , it fails with this error:

sudo python setup.py build
running build

gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall

not name a type
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

looks like stdin is not defined .

thank you.

I faced the same issue while building pyodbc using gcc-4.1.2 and python2.4 on a 
centOS 5 box.
For me the following packages worked:
python27
python27-devel
gcc44
gcc44-c++

After installing the above packages, I ran: sudo python2.7 setup.py build

The 'uintptr_t' error is because the older versions of gcc-c++ don't define 
'uintptr_t' type.
