when try to install file gcc-2.96-129.7.2.src.rpm using command rpmbuild --rebuild gcc-2.96-129.7.2.src.rpm, i found some errors on my redhat AS 2.1:

../configure: gcc: command not found
*** The command 'gcc -o conftest -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.82172 (%build)


RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.82172 (%build)
[root@spocs master]#

how to fix it? and what is the correct version for gcc and gcc-gcc++ for my redhat AS 2.1? Have the URL 4 d/l it?

btw here is the story why the gcc rpm has been removed fron my system:

ask question from forums:

i've been so many times try to install oracle collaboration suite on redhat linux AS 2.1 but always get error when running configuration assistant (infrastructure) when to create Oracle Internet Directory :

"lsnrport" 1521 could not contact OID server.

how to fix it?

get the answer from forum :

Hi may be you can try this

The solution could be :
(1) Download gcc_old-2.95.3-7.i586.rpm
(2) Remove the existing compiler/library, as root type:
rpm -e --nodeps gcc gcc-c++
(3) Install the old gcc (ver 2.95)
rpm -i gcc_old-2.95.3-7.i586.rpm
This will install GCC 2.95 in /opt/gcc295
(3) Create symbolic links in /usr/bin
ln -s /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc
ln -s /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
ln -s /opt/gcc295/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++
ln -s /opt/gcc295/bin/g++ /usr/bin/c++

HTH

The last thing i did is execute the command:
rpm -e --nodeps gcc gcc-c++

After that, the optional system requirement for installing colaboration (gcc) is missing from my system.

How to fix it?

Is there any web site that provide *.rpm file? not *.src.rpm?

Thank u 4 ur kind att.

U can meet me at irc server: irc.allnetwork.or.id channel #ptsp, #antigravity. My nick: ruly

Ye Old Chicken and Egg problem. You can't compile your compiler because you don't have a compiler

Suse 9.1 Gcc-3.3.3-i586 Package. I couldn't find any older GCC versions, but there is no reason why you can't have two GCC versions installed. I recommend keeping the 3.3.3 version and running the other version along side it.

is the version support for my redhat AS 2.1?

I'm sorry, I looked at your profile and saw Suse 9.1 and totally forgot about the fact you said you were doing this on RedHat AS2.1.

I can only seam to find the src rpm's for RedHat AS 2.1. Do you have the install CD somewhere? The regular rpm should be on it somewhere.

Yes i have it. Btw did u knoe the step by step to reinstall my gcc version with cd-rom? I mean whereis the rpm sources, command or application to add/remove it?

thx

Look inside Cd's 1-4 or 2-4. I believe cd #1 has very few packages. Ok, once you pop the cd's in, look for Redhat/RPM/Products and it should be there. I don't remember exactly but I know it's under directory Redhat. Once you find gcc-*.rpm, install that along with any dependencies that it requires.

Ok, and thanks a lot. But make sure that u don't leave me. It's make me sick trying to solve this problem and also the main goal of installing redhat is to try to install oracle collaboration suite. Our office will be back on monday. We work on monday until friday.
