Hi, I need to install the C language stuff so I can get Samba to work on my SuSE 8 system. I downloaded the GCC files and I've read through the installation info but I am having difficulty in understanding how I can install it.

Can anyone help?

ok I think I am doing the right thing (after finding another post)

This is what I did...

SuSE:~ # cd /etc/gcc
SuSE:/etc/gcc # /home/Downloads/gcc-3.2/configure
Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld host.
Created "Makefile" in /etc/gcc using "mt-frag"
/home/Downloads/gcc-3.2/configure: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
SuSE:/etc/gcc #

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong?

Get gcc as an RPM, obviously you don't have a compiler installed, go over to rpmfind.net and search for gcc, get plain rpms, RH ones would do it. And when you'll attempt to install it you might face dependencies problems, note them aside and go over to rpmfind again to hunt them down. Also all the packages you need might be located on SuSE installation CD's.

Don't get gcc 2.96-RH RPMs.

Here r some rpms i found:

ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/...5.1-3.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/...5.1-3.i386.rpm

when I clicked those links I got the following error message?

"Could not create view for application/x-rpm
The diagnostics is" then 'Ok'

The problem started with trying to get Samba server.

This is what started me off to download gcc

SuSE:/home/Downloads/samba-2.2.5/source # ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
SuSE:/home/Downloads/samba-2.2.5/source #

I am trying to setup Samba so I can get to see the computer in network places on my win2k domain, can anyone help?

I found the link now and I'm downloading the rpm
