Hi, I'm new to Linux and I having problems with the BASH.
I downloaded a .tgz file into the home directory. I had no problems unzipping it. When I changed to the unzipped directory and use ./configure, I got the following:
checking MACHDEP... linux2
checking EXTRAPLATDIR...
checking for --without-gcc... no
checking for --with-cxx=<compiler>... no
checking for c++... no
checking for g++... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for CC... no
checking for cxx... no
checking for cc++... no
checking for cl... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
Is there a problem with a compiler?
BTW I'm using SuSE 8.0 Personal
if it doesn't return the version you haven't got it installed. Also check if you have 'make' installed. You might run into an unpleasant surprise: you'll have to download both and a couple of dependencies to make it all work.
Ok I have the same problem as beans had but I do have gcc installed and make. I installed all of the development software as well. Do you think you know what could be the problem...if I could just install stuff everything would be great. Thanks!
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no

checking for style of include used by make... none
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
I updated all the development files and I did an online update and updated everything. This doesn't really make any sense.
I just tried updating gcc under root and that didn't seem to do any good. How do I get make...I searched for it in yast and couldn't find it, and how do I change the path? If you could just explain to me in greater detail that would be great...thanks.
