Dear god, help with 'make' command in SuSE 9.1
Ok ,i recently installed SuSE and I love it, but unfortunately i am missing a very important feature. I am completely unable to preform the 'make' xxx command, and i get the message:
bash: make: command not found I am quite certain that this is a very important function, and would like help to insure that it shows up again. Also, i tried to run ./configure in some context i can't remember, and it told me that i was missing a C compiler, another error message i believe should be dealt with before i try to do anything else. Help me out somebody, -J |
yeah you need a c-compiler, go get a package called gcc and it's dependencies :) after that you should be running more smoothly...
|
thanks, i was getting ready to lose it. now i am off i search of gcc.

To get this easily, you can add the 9.1 repository to yast software sources. The suse site has a list of ftp servers. You can also get a cool tool called apt4rpm that allows you to add stuff via the command line very easily. It works with 9.1 if you add the right repositories.

Ok, i don't mean to sound lazy but i am at home where i have a most sh!tty dial-up connection. Is there anywhere I can go to get a list of the file dependencies that gcc has, because this install-error message-download-repeat method is going to take me the rest of my life. I am chroncially new to linux, and while using an apt-get type program may sound good, i can't get dialup to work in linux without the aid of the files i seek to download. A nice, relatively simple link could possibly save my sanity, but i would rather run outside and drown myself in the river than do this whole trying to piece together 20 different files with the hope that they may be what I need deal.
Help me preserve my sanity via either a list of dependencies or a good link, -J |
Hi friend! I see your point. Recently I tried to install linux on a friends computer, but the dialup connection would not allow me to download stuff, so I had to download at home, burn cd's, go over there, install...
Anyway, I made a search here on my system, and this is what I found with yast2: make is inside the package make-3.80-184.i586.rpm. Deps are: info /bin/sh /bin/sh rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 libc.so.6 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) librt.so.1 librt.so.1(GLIBC_2.2) rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1 gcc is inside the package gcc-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm. Deps are: binutils glibc-devel cpp = 3.3.3-41 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 /bin/sh libc.so.6 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1 In order to compile programs (I guess this is what you want), you need both. Can't you find these packages in the same cd's you used to install suse? It's a lot easier than downloading... |

your best bet is to use the YaST repository as mentioned or use apt4rpm, perhaps the latter will be a better option considering u r new to linux. a simple google search for "apt4rpm" will put u in the right direction. |
Thanks, maybe now I can get everything working.

np :^)

They're crippling on of the most important features of Linux , because they have the misconception that "only developers will compile from source"???? Screw that ; I , myself , can't code myself out of a wet paper bag , even if my virginity depended on the result , but nearly all software ,I installed last ˝year , I compiled from source(Exept Opera....) ; it's soooooo much better....(even though I don't have the faintest clue , how this "compiling-thingy" actually works on the inside). As far as I' m concerned , a distro without the possibillity to compile from source doesn't qualify as a Linux-flavour. Thanks for reminding me , why I ditched SuSE last year....(just one of the many reasons...) |
Wow. That makes mandrake and slack look a lot better :-)
Mandrake has the 'cut back' gpl version, but at least it's 'complete'... |
that has been the only issue i have had with suse.
suse's FTP has all the stuff you need. |
Update: thanks to the information provided by equinox, the planetary alignment, and a ton of luck, I have finally got SuSE fully functional on this computer and I must say, it is excellent. Thanks for the help people, now it's time to do some fun stuff.

I'm a total newbie at this SuSE thing. I also have SuSE 9.1 and am having trouble with the C program compiler and make commands.
However, as of now, my question is this. How do you use YaST to access these package repositories you speak of? Thanks |
