Error when installing django-auth-ldap on Rocky Linux 8.6 Installation

[electricd7]

Hello-

I am a brand new netbox user and have tried searching everywhere for this issue before posting. I have a working installation of Netbox running on a new RockyLinux 8.6 installation. I am trying to get LDAP working against my Windows AD environment but keep getting errors when trying the following lines from the installation document:

source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
pip3 install django-auth-ldap

After I run those commands I get the following indicating an error:

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for python-ldap
Failed to build python-ldap
ERROR: Could not build wheels for python-ldap, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects`

I tried to go ahead and continue the installation as I didn't really understand the error, but when I browse to Netbox after restarting the service the screen just shows a server error:

<class 'django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured'>

LDAP authentication has been configured, but django-auth-ldap is not installed.

Python version: 3.8.12
NetBox version: 3.3.4

What can I do to resolve this issue?

[electricd7]

Found a solution. I had to install gcc and python38-devel.x86_64 to get this to work. I did so with the following should anyone run into the same issues:

yum install python38-devel.x86_64 -y yum install gcc -y
