GCC not found

Hi all,

I recently installed the 64-bit 13.37 image on Linode.

I also manually downloaded and installed the /d/ group (including gcc) using installpkg.

When attempting to compile Apache, I get this error:

Fine.

Config.log says:

me@linode:/usr/src/httpd-2.2.21# whereis gcc
gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/lib/gcc /usr/lib64/gcc /usr/X11R6/bin/gcc /usr/bin/X11/gcc /usr/X11/bin/gcc /usr/libexec/gcc /usr/man/man1/gcc.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz /usr/X11/man/man1/gcc.1.gz

So it seems to see it on the one hand and not find it on the other. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help!

are you able to compile and install any slackbuilds? Those almost always require gcc to install.

You may be trying to compile a 32-bit application without being multilib enabled

adamk75 · 10-27-2011, 04:36 PM

What is the output of:

Code:

ls -l /usr/bin/gcc

And also to the point what is the output of 'file /usr/bin/gcc'?

I suspect a 32 binary

cenazoic · 10-27-2011, 06:45 PM

Adam,

ls -l /usr/bin/gcc == /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.5.3*

Dive,

file /usr/bin/gcc == /usr/bin/gcc: symbolic link to `gcc-4.5.3'

Slacktat,

After your comment I updated using AlienBob's multilib instructions/packages. While I can now 'gcc -v' and get an appropriate response, I'm still getting errors ./configuring Apache. Here's the config.log (different error, so progress, I suppose.

)

Go back a step. You shouldn't need to build 32bit apache/httpd on 64bit slackware. You should use 64bit.

Any reason why the provided stock slackware package is no good for you?

If you need to update then it's a matter of finding out the missing libs and installing/building those too.

As usual www.slackbuilds.org has a lot of things that your local slackware mirror doesn't provide.

dive · 10-27-2011, 07:17 PM

By the way did you run 'file' on that gcc-4.5.3?

NoStressHQ · 10-27-2011, 08:21 PM

It's normal, the Linode's Slackware is a highly lighten one...

You need to install quite some packages more than that, sorry, I don't remember the exact packages, but I remember spending some time doing "installpkg" from the mirrors. (wget was missing too if I remember well).

You might miss binutils or gnu ld...

Anyway on the server, moreover if you have a tiny one (low mem, low disk) as I have, you'd better use the 32 bit version to save some space.

Don't be desperate, install some more packages from the basic repo and you should get somewhere

.
(Just avoid the X and KDE stuff, all the rest worth installing).

Good luck and keep the faith !

Garry.

Edit: I remember having focused on first having lftp installed, to be able to have a "local mirror" on the server, after that, package installs were easier. Btw, Linode recently changed the bandwidth policy, and you have no limit to "download" from the server point of view, so use it without being shy

.

It is clear from the log file you are missing
libmpc-0.8.2-x86_64-2.txz

Please also run 'ldd /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.5.3/cc1' to check for more missing libraries. You should have got the required libraries from the l/ series, which is not clear that you installed that series.

I'm not sure what this other talk about 32-bit Apache / 64-bit multi-lib, so you might want to explain more. But if you are multi-lib, make sure you install the appropriate corresponding multi-lib packages so you can compile the way you are intending.

Hi folks,

I recently got myself a linode node with a slackware64 13.37 image, upgraded to current, installed gcc then tried to install nginx and got the "checking for C compiler ... not found" issue

However the line right before that tells me i'm running a 3.7.10 kernel, which is not the same version my gcc was compiled against (3.7.1)

Does that matter? should i recompile all my dev packages against this kernel (including kernel source) ?

thanks,
