title: virtualenv gcc error
body: <p>IF I use --no-site-packages option while creating a virtualenv and try to install MySQL-python afterwards I get :</p>
  
  <pre><code>error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here are the steps I followed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>easy_install-2.7 --install-dir ~/src/lib/ virtualenv==dev
  ~/src/lib/virtualenv  --no-site-packages ENV
  .../ENV/bin/pip-2.7 install MySQL-python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried downloading mySQL-python and install using </p>
  
  <pre><code>.../ENV/bin/python setup.py build
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the same error wither way.
  I assume I am missing the gcc from this virtualenv but how do I get it installed in this virtualenv while still using --no-site-packages option.
  thanks</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: as per below comments here is the whole error output.</p>
