How to install anything???


Hi, I am very new to Linux and I need help.

Every time I try to install a program (by following the INSTALL) I get this :

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[NoidZ@localhost ~]$ dir
Desktop Downloads gst-player-0.6.0 Programs
[NoidZ@localhost ~]$ cd gst-player-0.6.0
[NoidZ@localhost gst-player-0.6.0]$ dir

config.sub gst-player.spec.in Makefile.am README
[NoidZ@localhost gst-player-0.6.0]$ ./configure
configure: configuring gst-player for release
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I need a "acceptable C compiler"... I know what it is, but I don't know anything about installing anything with linux (distr. Fedora Core 4)

Sorry for my "noobness" but I want to learn more about Linux and this is just my first step

Thanks!!!

You need to install gcc. You can do this using yum e.g.
Code:
#yum install gcc gcc-c++

If you are not running LFS (a linux system built from scratch) you will have a package management system like yum or yast or apt or synaptic ...something like that - check your distributions documentation. (but than again - you would have known how to work this one out...)
Through this system you can not only install the compiler you are missing until now, but you can very probably install all the software you want without the need to compile anything - it's all already there.
...why don't you include the info on your distribution in your profile for others to see everytime you post something? Or at leas supply the info in your post - it's easier to give specific help then.

-edit-

ok. I missed it - you are posting in the fedora forum, so you are probably asking about this one

Fedora 4 yum documentation:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/index.html

FWIW, I think that gst-player is just a reference implementation, and the recommended GStreamer player is Totem.
