Hey,

I've installed my first linux distro 3 days ago (SuSe 9.1 personal), and while trying to set up my internet connection (first thing to do) I've had nothing but problems... so far I've found a lot of manuals for it.. and those would work if I wouldn't be missing the gcc compiler... appearantly it's also not on the cd (only the pro version would have it) a bit stupid I think! but anyways, I go out and search for the gcc rpm, I found it rather quickly, but then it starts giving me dependencie problems... then glibc-devel is not availlable, so I start looking for that too... but when I install that... glibc is also needed... and now I have the problem dat I can't find a glibc rpm for SuSe (glibc version should also be at least 2.3+)... I don't understand why it's that hard to get just one thing working... but it could also just be that the personal version is maybe a bit too linux light...

so my question is... does anybody know of an easier way... cause I'm going kinda *head banging against the wall* right now...

I searched trough all previous posts for the whole day now... and I've found some ohter 2 guides to install... but I really need the GCC compiler... ach, I'll keep trying untill it works... but it stilll would come in handy if somebody had some advice..;

Here is a link of international ftp sites: hxxp://www.suse.com/us/private/downl...t_mirrors.html

If you navigate to:

xtp://mirror.storagetek.com/pub/syst...i386/9.1/suse/

You'll find the gcc packages.
File: gcc-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
File: gcc-c++-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
File: gcc-g77-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
File: gcc-info-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
File: gcc-java-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
File: gcc-locale-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
File: gcc-objc-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm


Install (i think File: gcc-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm ) with YaST.

Its been a while since I've installed it but YaST should tell if you need another packages.

thanks, I'v finally got internet running...

best guide for this is on speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net

but my modem still won't connect every startup.. so now I'm looking to solve that problem...

but I'll google my way through it...

Hello CH,

I've had the same problem. I known the page you're refering to in your last post. Did you use the speedtouchconf.sh (which worked for me fine in my old SuSE 8.2)? When I try this on 9.1 I get your problem of not having gcc (or make) installed.
