Compile error when running "pip install -r requirements.txt"

I'm trying to build an image using the following Dockerfile and receiving a gcc compile error. Are there additional requirements beyond what's specified? Also, in following the readme for Replicator, it says:

• skopeo
• Python modules listed in requirements.txt
  • pip install -r requirements.txt

I've tried both "pip" and "pip3" with the same results, and different python images. Any suggestions are approached.

Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.7.7-alpine3.11
RUN apk add --no-cache \
    skopeo \
    git \
    gcc 

WORKDIR /python/src/iron-bank/replicator
RUN git clone https://repo1.dsop.io/dsop/iron-bank/replicator/replicator.git .
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt

when executing the docker build command, it errors out on the "pip3 install" with:

... earlier steps ommitted
