The link.jam: No such file or directory error message is benign, and the log file attached appears only to be the stage.log file -- do you have the install.log file? It's likely the problem is in there.

[mjtko]

@vlj91 confirmed there is no install.log. Looking again at the stage.log shows that the bzip2 development package appears to be missing -- can you yum install bzip2-devel and trying again please?

Thanks, that fixed it!
