newbie software install question
 

Hi. I am trying to install xmms on mandrake 9.2.

i downloaded the tar.gz file, cd'd to /usr, untarred it okay, and when i ./configure it i get a problem. Here is what it said:

[root@linux xmms-1.2.10]# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
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 for prefix by checking for xmms... no
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.



Just wondering what to do. Thanks for any help

you need to install the gcc package

is this on the cd or online or is it part of xmms?

thx

i had that problem for a while in red hat 9. it turns out the development tools are on the installation cd's and i never installed them.

thx, i'll check into that!
