pyfribidi can't be installed on Centos5.7

I'm using Python2.6 and the gcc is 4.1. When installing via "easy_install2.6 pyfribidi", such errors are shown:

Then I tried gcc 4.4. The errors are the same.

You can try to install the fribidi-devel packages and install pyfribidi with

USE_SYSTEM_LIB=yes pip install pyfribidi

Thanks! "USE_SYSTEM_LIB=yes pip install pyfribidi" works.
