error installing php on debian with apache

Hi everyone,

i'm using debian/gnome etch and have included webserver(apache) in the installation.

trying to install php 5.2.4
via unpacking tar

error :

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

what's gcc/cc, do i have it and just can't find it, can i find it on the debian/gnome installation cd?

on a further note, is there anyway i can use apt to install from cd, ... and does anyone know which of the 21 cd images hold installation packages for LAMP setup?

Try this:

apt-get update
apt-get install gcc

gcc is the GnuCompilerCollection. you better run apt-get install as superuser
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install bison
sudo apt-get install flex
sudo apt-get install binutils

the latter will probably useful in the long run...

okay thanks guys... i deviated temporarily because i really needed to run LAMP, so i used XAMPP on a diff. linux installation...

i hope i can get the gcc package from the debian etch cd (gnome default)
because i tried installing gcc from a .deb and it didn't quite work out

i got something like checking if gcc is running .... no.

once again, thanks guys
