Error installing Phusion Passenger

I've been trying to install Phusion Passenger on my Centos VPS hosting a rails 3 app but I keep getting the following error: 

Installing Phusion Passenger Standalone...
[********************************             ] Preparing Nginx... \           
checking for OS
 + Linux 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5xen x86_64
checking for C compiler ... found but is not working

./configure: error: C compiler gcc is not found

I've followed all the instructions from here but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Among other things I've tried is downloading the nginx-1.2.3 source and compiling them manually using a different source directory and they compile and install correctly. But when I try to run passenger start from my rails app, it will trigger the installation all over again. Running nginx -v does show it as installed. Any help would be appreciated ! I'm running Ruby 1.9.2.

Obviously a gcc compiler is missing. You can check it in console by typing:

$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc  # expected response

If you are running Debian/Ubuntu, this should solve it:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf libc-dev

on Centos/RedHat/Fedora probably this should work:

$ sudo yum install gcc make autoconf
