cc/gcc not installed...and how to install


Hi,
Like I message ffew days ago, I can't use ./configure.

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

I checked if gcc or cc is installed and it sin't.
I downloaded and tried rpm -i gcc-2.96-110.i386.rpm but I got the message

error: failed dependencies:
binutils >= 2.11.93.0.2-6 is needed by gcc-2.96-110
cpp = 2.96-110 is needed by gcc-2.96-110
glibc-devel is needed by gcc-2.96-110

I don't know how to get through

Thanks

Seba

Gcc depends on different packages. You need to install them first. They're listed in your errir message:
binutils, gcc-cpp and glibc-devel
They're on your installation cd. Install them in the same way you tried with gcc. It's possible that you can get similar error messages. Don't worry, find the packages missing and install them, too. They're all on your install cd.

that's what it says you need binutils version 2.11.93.0.2-6 or later, you need also cpp version 2.96-110 and glibc-devel, now go to http://www.rpmfind.net and get the dependencies, note it is not guaranteed that you will not face even more dependencies failures. A side note: don't get 2.96 version of gcc - it is buggy to say the least - you can go for gcc-3.x.x, and I would suggest getting older version 2.95 or 2.91. You would also need gcc-common, gcc-libs, glibc, glibc-devel, libstdc++, and some more. Be patient, and try to get everything you need in source RPM's (package-version.release.src.rpm)
