but still problem is same compiling LinNeighborhood

some guied me what is solustion or if my installation is not proper then waht is proper way

libcapplet is not a compiler.... and you also only installed some source, which will have no effect from your point of view...

install gcc-devel, glibc-devel and any similar dependencies from the distro cd's you used to install your system from.

there is quite possibly a linneighborhood rpm on the distro cd's too anyway, so wouldn't be any need to compile it.
