Hi All,
I was trying to install gcc version gcc-3.4.5 on Xandros OC 3.0. I copied the gcc-3.4.5.tar.gz to a specified directory. Ran the following commands in order :
gzip -d gcc-3.4.5.tar.gz
tar xvf gcc-3.4.5.tar
cd gcc-3.4.5.tar
./configure
but at the last command i got the error:
---
./configure: line 2339: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
---

line 2333 to 2339 in configure file are as follows:
---
# Make sure that the compiler is able to generate an executable. If it
# can't, we are probably in trouble. We don't care whether we can run the
# executable--we might be using a cross compiler--we only care whether it
# can be created. At this point the main configure script has set CC.
we_are_ok=no
echo "int main () { return 0; }" > conftest.c
${CC} -o conftest ${CFLAGS} ${CPPFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} conftest.c
----
is CC some new thing which I must have to install before gcc. I could not find anything as that in gcc installation notes.
Please HELP...

That error generally means you don't have GCC installed. You do realize that you're trying to install GCC from source and that you need an older version of GCC already installed in order to do that, right? You can install GCC 3.3.5 through the Xandros Network and use that to build version 3.4.5 if you really want to. Of course, if all you want is a working compiler, there's no reason why you couldn't just install version 3.3.5 and save yourself the hassle.

Initially I also tried to install the older version of gcc compiler from Xandros network, but Xandros network is not able to connect...it gives the error:

You may need to update package information (use Edit/Update List menu option)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The internet and all other services are working fine on this computer.
I have no other option but to install the gcc myself... or is there some other option...
I am getting more and more confused...
