I can't install anything!!
 

I am currently running RedHat9.0, and I cannot install anything... I am trying to install Linux Direct Connect Client, and when i type ./configure I get the following error

[kris@localhost ldcc-2.0.7]$ ./configure

I have tried installing other software earlier, but I get similar errors to this... please help!

You may need to become the root user for most installs.
Check 'man su'
Good Luck.

EDIT: It is also possible you need to install the development software. Try as root first.

Give this command to see if you have the compiler installed.

gcc -v
