I saw this post here:
And got the EPEL 7 installed, then did a sudo yum install gdal and it did its thing without errors. However when trying to do a sudo pip install gdal I get the following error:

No idea what this error is telling me (besides maybe it is a config file, btw easy_install gave me an error of this:

I haven gdal running on my mac just fine just when I try to install it on centos do I get these errors. I am sure I am missing something no idea what. My version of python on this server I am trying to get gdal on is 2.7.5 which I know is old not sure if that is a factor or not.

For CentOS 7: You will need two prerequisite packages before installing the GDAL pip package.
Then you should have the required packages to install via pip
