Hello,
I'm trying to install an Intuos serial wacom tablet on i386-redhat-linux. I attached my tablet and downloaded linuxwacom-0.7.6-4 from the linuxwacom.com site.
I unpacked the contents into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules and tried to run the ./configure script. I got error messages:

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 whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... 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.

Then I did a search for my gcc and found it in:
/usr/libexec/gcc

Is there a problem with the path of gcc when it's trying to install the program into /usr/bin ?

What can I do to install this correctly?

Please help!

Thanks,
Pan

Thanks for the link, but I'm a real newbie and this is a little hard for me to understand.

My error message in the config.log was:

bigrigdriver suggests that:

I'm not sure what he means by "paths to the compilers mentioned in the error message".

I know my gcc is in /usr/libexec/gcc

I'm installing from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linuxwacom-0.7.6-4 where my wacam tablet driver files are.

I also get errors in the config.log:

ACLOCAL='${SHELL} /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linuxwacom-0.7.6-4/missing --run aclocal-1.9'
AMDEPBACKSLASH=''
AMDEP_FALSE=''

AMTAR='${SHELL} /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linuxwacom-0.7.6-4/missing --run tar'
AR=''
AUTOCONF='${SHELL} /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linuxwacom-0.7.6-4/missing --run autoconf'

MAKEINFO='${SHELL} /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linuxwacom-0.7.6-4/missing --run makeinfo'

then I get

install_sh='/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linuxwacom-0.7.6-4/install-sh'
libdir='${exec_prefix}/lib'
libexecdir='${exec_prefix}/libexec'

Does that mean it's finding the gcc path?

What exacly am I to add to the /etc/ld.so.conf file?

My bash-profile file is in /usr/share/doc/bash-3.0/startup-files/

And this is what's in it:

umask 022

if [ -f /unix ] ; then
stty intr ^c # bogus

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ] ; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

My profile file is in /etc

And this is what it contains:


# /etc/profile

# System wide environment and startup programs, for login setup
# Functions and aliases go in /etc/bashrc

pathmunge () {
if ! echo $PATH | /bin/egrep -q "(^|$1($|" ; then
if [ "$2" = "after" ] ; then

else
PATH=$1:$PATH
fi
fi
}

# Path manipulation
if [ $EUID = 0 ]; then
pathmunge /sbin
pathmunge /usr/sbin
pathmunge /usr/local/sbin
fi

pathmunge /usr/X11R6/bin after


# No core files by default
ulimit -S -c 0 > /dev/null 2>&1

USER="`id -un`"

if [ -z "$INPUTRC" -a ! -f "$HOME/.inputrc" ]; then
INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
fi

export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
if [ -r "$i" ]; then
. $i
fi
done

unset i
unset pathmunge


Is this making any sense?

What should I do?

I ran the yum install gcc command from /etc

It seems to have installed, but when I ran the ./configure command from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linuxwacom*

I got the no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH error again.

Hi,

I do not think you have gcc installed. Usually, gcc lives in /usr/bin/

I do not know what distro your penguin is, so I do not know how to install gcc. (yum, rpm, apt or something else)

Whatever you posted may make sense. It all depends on your configuration.

anyway.

#1. DO NOT EDIT /etc/ld.so.conf, at this moment.
#2. post output of "echo $PATH", "which gcc" and "gcc -v"
#3. This is the first step lesson in Penguin world (and *ix), everybody once experiences.

Happy Penguins!

Thanks!

This is what I get with "echo $PATH":

[root@localhost 64]# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/Pan/bin:/usr/local/shake-v4.00.0607/bin/:

which gcc:

[root@localhost 64]# which gcc
/usr/bin/which: no gcc in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/Pan/bin:/usr/local/shake-v4.00.0607/bin/

with gcc -v I get:

[root@localhost 64]# gcc -v
bash: gcc: command not found

Hi,

I do not think you have gcc.

libexec/gcc is usually a directory.

Post your distro.

Happy Penguins!
