I'm terribly sorry for the necro-bump. The issue I'm experiencing seems to be the same one the OP was facing. We're running CDH 6.3, and I encountered a problem when trying to install the Kudu Python client. I created the symlinks as recommended by mpercy, but I'm still unable to install the kudu-python client. Our cluster does not have direct access to the internet, so when possible we use an offline install. The official documentation says that the Kudu C++ client libraries and headers are needed for the Kudu Python client. On Oracle Linux 7 trying to install devtoolset-3-toolchain ends in a failure, as a number of dependencies are missing:   Error: Package: devtoolset-3-gdb-7.8.2-38.el6.x86_64 (rhscl-devtoolset-3-epel-6-x86_64) Requires: libpython2.6.so.1.0()(64bit) Error: Package: devtoolset-3-gcc-gfortran-4.9.2-6.el6.x86_64 (rhscl-devtoolset-3-epel-6-x86_64) Requires: libmpfr.so.1()(64bit) Error: Package: devtoolset-3-gcc-c++-4.9.2-6.el6.x86_64 (rhscl-devtoolset-3-epel-6-x86_64) Requires: libgmp.so.3()(64bit) Error: Package: devtoolset-3-gcc-4.9.2-6.el6.x86_64 (rhscl-devtoolset-3-epel-6-x86_64) Requires: libgmp.so.3()(64bit) Error: Package: devtoolset-3-gcc-4.9.2-6.el6.x86_64 (rhscl-devtoolset-3-epel-6-x86_64) Requires: libmpfr.so.1()(64bit) Error: Package: devtoolset-3-gcc-gfortran-4.9.2-6.el6.x86_64 (rhscl-devtoolset-3-epel-6-x86_64) Requires: libgmp.so.3()(64bit) Error: Package: devtoolset-3-gcc-c++-4.9.2-6.el6.x86_64 (rhscl-devtoolset-3-epel-6-x86_64) Requires: libmpfr.so.1()(64bit) Disregarding that, running pip install --no-index --find-links file:///data0/home/jkovacs/kudu-python-1.10.0.tar.gz  results in the following errors: ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: command: /usr/bin/python -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'/tmp/pip-install-rK2Qbk/kudu-python/setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'/tmp/pip-install-rK2Qbk/kudu-python/setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' egg_info --egg-base /tmp/pip-install-rK2Qbk/kudu-python/pip-egg-info cwd: /tmp/pip-install-rK2Qbk/kudu-python/ Complete output (43 lines): Building from system prefix /usr/local /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/Cython/Compiler/Main.py:369: FutureWarning: Cython directive 'language_level' not set, using 2 for now (Py2).
