Error loading cartopy: error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I am trying to load cartopy onto my system using pip install cartopy

The version of Python environment I am using is 3.5.3, which I am unable to change. I'm getting the following error:

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

It also gives me this error: 

Command "/opt/apps/python/3.5.3/bin/python3.5 -u -c "import setuptools, 
tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build- 
eprit6ql/cartopy/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open) 
(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, 
__file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-4mg12j4p-record/install- 
record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --user --prefix=" 
failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-eprit6ql/cartopy/

(Sorry it's a little messy)

If there's another way to install using pip or a similar alternative (like basemap for example) that could be recommended that would be helpful too!

Thanks for any help!

Installation instructions recommend to use conda. If you want to install from sources (using pip) you have to install a number of requirements.

PS. And to help us to help you you'd better show us the full error message. 'gcc' failed is not enough to understand what's going on.
