Problem solved! It was because the gcc version installed was 4.8.5 and in order to compile successfully, prophet needs gcc 4.9.3 or higher. With the below code it worked.

FROM centos/python-38-centos7:latest USER root RUN yum -y update RUN yum -y install centos-release-scl RUN yum -y install devtoolset-7-gcc* SHELL [ "/usr/bin/scl", "enable", "devtoolset-7"] RUN gcc --version pip install prophet

do this first: yum -y install python3.8-dev
