error installing hping2 ./configure
 
Hello you coding gurus, I am trying to run the configure file for hping2 and I keep getting an error regarding line 20. In the documentation it states that I don't need to run this as root, although I have tried that. Well here is the error I am getting along with the configure file;

[eric@edblnxsrv hping2]$ ./configure
build byteorder.c...
./configure: line 20: cc: command not found

configure file

#!/bin/sh

show_help()
{
echo configure help:
echo "--help show this help"
echo "--force-libpcap build a libpcap based binary under linux"
echo "--dont-limit-when-suid when suid allows to use all options"
echo " even if uid != euid"
}

if [ "$1" = "--help" ]; then
show_help
exit 0
fi

CC=${CC:=cc}

echo build byteorder.c...
$CC byteorder.c -o byteorder || exit 1

INSTALL_MANPATH=`echo $MANPATH|cut -f1 -d:`
if [ "$INSTALL_MANPATH" = "" ]; then
"configure" 119L, 2463C

I have tried upgrading permissions to byteorder.c also I don't know much about coding so if any one has any ideas I am more than open for suggestion. The line that the error points to is;
$CC byteorder.c -o byteorder || exit 1 Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

You didn't install the compiler (developmental packages) during install.

Pretty much what fancy piper said to do. only here is a step by step instruction in english rather than in geek:D

goto www.freshrpms.net and get a program called apt and program called synaptic. install these both and run synaptic (the gui version of apt) update your list (clicking the update list button) and do a search for gcc, glade, and gtk. i think all you should need is a version of gcc but all 3 couldn't hurt. gcc is a gnome compiler collection. once that is updated you should be able to compile your junk. but you have to hope that everything works! because linux is nnnnever easy;)

You guys are too correct and just my luck I didn't install the x window system either required for package management so I am going to run an upgrade and add everything at that time if I can or at least the x window portion if not developmental packages simultaniously. Thanks for your help!!!!!

Ok I spoke a little to soon I do have the x window system installed. And I have been able to get the packages installed using the rpm command because I didn't have old enough packages of krb5 and openssl to complete using the package gui. Very strange that I needed older packages. Anyway everything is working now besides the rpm installer. And it was such a pain hooking up a monitor to that box. I dont tend to use the gui. But thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was very puzzled for a while.
