Also, rpmfind.net is a great way to find RPMs you might need. Just put 'gcc' in the search box; to narrow down the results, put 'redhat' as the system type.
You actually need GCC binaries. RPM's need the compiler, leaving you right back where you started. I believe if you go to the GCC site and download the binary tarbal, that should work.
Originally posted by tgflynn Uh RPM's are binary packages. Either you're thinking of SRPM's or I'm completely missing your point.
Everytime I unpacked an RPM, I would see where it triggered GCC. That's most of why I thought that RPM's need a compiler. If you can get a binary RPM though, GO FOR IT! I think those usually have a bin somewhere in the name (IE: riodriversbin.rpm or something). ...of course, if I'm just killing my own dumb self here, take my gun away.
I get the same error " no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" and I've found places to download GCC but they're all in "tar.gz" format. Is there no-where one can find a rpm maybe, wouldn't that help in this type of situation?
gtk, xml and xml2 are installed, but still Iget these messages:
What's wrong?
