Dear all,

I have a problem regarding installation of Postfix. First, it asks me installing DB Berkeley and some other patches. I already installed and after it it asks me for GCC compiler. I just installed this compiler and now I have this error.

gcc -Wmissing-prototypes -Wformat -DNO_EPOLL -g -O -I. -DLINUX2 -c alldig.c
make: execvp: gcc: Permission denied
make: *** [alldig.o] Error 127
make: *** [update] Error 1
[root@localhost postfix]#

I dont know what is the problem. Is there any help regarding this????

Support for RH9 was dropped in 2004. You would be much better off switching to a supported version. After RH9 they started counting over again. The current version is RHEL5.1(Red Hat Enterprise Linux). Unfortunately their model now charges for updates. Centos is RHEL with the logos removed. It is free to download and update.

AND---I would guess that postfix would be available using the package manager. (It's there in mine--PCLinuxOS)
