It says no c compiler found in path, and i can't install a compiler like gcc or g++ and such cause thier is no compiler to run the config files for those programs I'm at a wall and can't get past it any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

Try to install the pre-compiled compilers from SuSE. They are available as rpm and can easily be installed with Yast.

can you use yast to install the gcc package from the CD's or download it? Thats prob. near or exactly your solution

I bet Pretzels is using 9.1 Personal-Edition, which has no development-tools on the CD. But download is the way it goes

Im not sure what exactaly im running here, but it has no tools what so ever. thanks for all your replies i got it to work now. Someone said I should change the source of installation, so i did that and pointed it to the suse ftp site then i installed the packages through yast. by the way isn't yast the greatest thing ever! thanks again for all your guys help
