I have gcc install but not gcc-11, is that the issue?

I resolved this using HomeBrew environment.
After installing HomeBrew use
brew install gcc@11Generally I prefer use HomeBrew to manage tools rather than dnf/pacman or apt.
So my Distrib env is still unchanged, and my working tools are all localized in .linuxbrew user env.

@gvalkov Any chance of getting binary distributions in the Python package? I'd love for my users to not need to run
sudo apt install build-essential python-devand so on.
