How to fix “configure: error: no acceptable c compiler found in $path”

As the title says, I am getting the “configure: error: no acceptable c compiler found in $path” error. How can I fix it so the error goes away?
Here is my detail:

mkdir ~/src
 wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.1/Python-2.7.1.tgz
 tar -zxvf Python-2.7.1.tar.gz
 cd Python-2.7.1
 mkdir ~/.localpython
 ./configure --prefix=/home/<user>/.localpython
 make
 make install

When I operated it and I received the error text:

checking for --enable-universalsdk... no
 checking for --with-universal-archs... 32-bit
 checking MACHDEP... linux3
 checking EXTRAPLATDIR... 
 checking machine type as reported by uname -m... x86_64
 checking for --without-gcc... no
 checking for gcc... no
 checking for cc... no
 checking for cl.exe... no
 configure: error: in `/home3/mikos89/Python-2.7.1':
 configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
 See `config.log' for more details.

I appreciate any help from you.

    The cause: The error is due to missing C compiler in your $PATH. This means that either gcc isn’t installed or it’s not in your $PATH variable.

    Solution: Use this to install gcc (run as root):

    • Redhat base:
      yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
    • Debian base:
      apt-get install build-essential
    • openSUSE base:
      zypper install --type pattern devel_basis

    Your $PATH does not contain the gcc compiler. This means that either gcc is not installed on your $PATH or that it’s not in the $PATH variable.

    This will install gcc: (run root).

    • Redhat base

       yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
    • Debian base

       apt-get install build-essential
    • OpenSUSE base

       zypper install --type pattern devel_basis
