Is /usr/lib an appropriate place for it? Thats where mine is.
I am getting a "no c compiler found in path" when trying to ./configure fuse.
The fuse folder is in /usr/bin
If gcc is not in /usr/bin, then you do not have the full compiler installed. Don't move any files from /usr/lib because they are not the compiler. Install gcc with your distros package manager.
The Mandriva Control Center ("Configure your computer" in the menu) has a software installation section. Use that to search for gcc and insert you installation media when asked. Another option would be to do
Code:
#urpmi gcc
While you are at it, you can use the tool at easyurpmi to add more software sources. Make sure you setup the various repos for main, contrib, plf and updates.
I think gcc is not shipped with Mandy One. gcc-cpp is all I can find. I dont think it is the compiler.
The best way to do this is to use the package manager with the repositories on the net. This way you get the latest.
When you run the package manager, there should be a setting for what repositories are used. (I'm not familiar with Mandrake/iva)
To your original question: Often the PATH for root is different than for a normal user. Thus a command can be there, but will not run unless you su to become root.
I think gcc is not shipped with Mandy One. gcc-cpp is all I can find. I dont think it is the compiler.
Go to easyurpmi as I suggested in my post above and add the various main, contrib, plf and updates repos to your software sources. After that use the Mandriva Control Center to install gcc.
I figured out how to use the package manager as it came with my distro, so to speak, but did not get easyurpmi to work, or work with my package manager as of yet.

Partly because of my dependency hell probs but partly because of my laziness I downloaded Mandy 2007 Free and installed it in place of Mandy One non-free.
I am having a easier go of it now. But as I feared, its a little slower than the Mandy one that I had before. Thats OK I will try something more streamlined after I learn more.
I have KMPlayer playing DVDs with no probs, Flash is working great, the BCM43xx wireless is working great (dont ask me why but it surfs and downloads on average much,much faster than when in Windows XP)
My only potential problem at the moment is java. It test as "congradulations, you have the latest java installed" (or something like that) on the Java website, but the website I use for TV listings doesnt work properly. I am off to search about that for a while.
