I am trying to install pysam.

After excecuting: 

python path/to/pysam-master/setup.py build

This error is produced:

unable to execute 'x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-gcc': No such file or directory
error: command 'x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

There are similar threads, but they all seem to address the problem assumig administriator rights, which I do not have. Is there a way around to install the needed files?

DISCLAIMER: This question derived from a previous post of mine. manually installing pysam error: "ImportError: No module named version" But since it might require a different approach, I made it a question of its own.

You can also receive the same error while installing some R packages if R was installed using conda (as I had).

Then just install the package by executing: conda install gxx_linux-64 to have that command available.
