hi, i'm quite new to linux and i was wondering how i could install gnu c compiler because i get this error when trying to install latest alsa drivers ...

See `config.log' for more details.

is there any way i could download and install it with 'you' from suse

or can someone just tell me what i should download from gcc mirrors and how to install it because i don't really get it

it will definitely be on your suse cd's somewhere, posibly grouped in some installer somewhere are "developement tools" or such like. i'm not familiar with Suse user tools though.

For your alsa woes
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/cur....3-37.i586.rpm
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/cur....3-27.i586.rpm
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/cur...1-517.i586.rpm

Please not that thoose are for "current" if your not using current then just go to ftp.suse.com and browse to your version.

And you will also find gcc and gcc-c++ on suse's ftp site.

I had to install the newest alsa drivers since the suse packages didn't include the driver for my soundcard yet. I'm sure you have the same problem so downloading the above won't do you any good. log into the suse ftp server and download the following packages:

gcc-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
gcc-c++-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
make-3.80-184.i586.rpm
glibc-devel-2.3.3-98.i586.rpm
libstdc++-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm
libstdc++-devel-3.3.3.-41.rpm

maybe i forget but you might need these 2 also but don't install unless you still get errors:
libsigc++-devel-1.0.4-375.i586.rpm
libstdc++-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm

i'd suggest downloading suse pro via ftp for free to save yourself alot of compiling headaches.

when browsing to that folder *default/build there's a file called build, when i click it a message said /build no longer exist

thats right i forgot that you also need to download the kernel source for that kernel version. you can find it also at the suse ftp site. if you can't find it let me know the kernel version you are using.
