I am trying to install some software (jpeg-mmx). When I run ./configure, i get the following
Do I have to install gcc or cc? or do I just have to add it to $PATH?

If I have it already, how would I find it?

I am running Fedora Core 4.

Yes, you need to installl gcc and/or g++ these are compilers. Development packages are not usually installed by default. Also these packages should be on your FC4 disk.

You most likely don't have gcc installed. If you think you have it installed (I don't think you do though), then type "gcc" and see if you get anything on the console. If command not found or something like that pops up, then you don't have it installed. Get the .rpm's from your cd's or from your distro ftp.

Good luck!

I kind of suspected that - but it was good to have it confirmed.

I tried to install gcc but it said it needed glibc-devel

I tried to install glibc-devel, but it said it needed glibc-headers

I tried to install glibc-headers, but it said it needed kernel-headers

I looked for kernel* and found a number of files including these two
-rw-r--r-- 13 root root 4101505 Jun 3 18:32 /media/cdrecorder/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i586.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 13 root root 4237922 Jun 3 18:33 /media/cdrecorder/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm

If I query these, they both claim "This package provides kernel headers and makefiles sufficient to build modules against the kernel package."

Do I want the i586 or the i686 version? or something else?

Ian

Are you trying to install through yum? If so change that and try installing from your cds instead. The way all dependencies will be met.

Hi Culq, let us look at the spelling:
"Did you try to install through yum"

Yours trustfully.
