Installing GCC in FC5


Whenever I try to install the GCC RPM in Fedora Core 5, the error message "Cannot retrieve software information" comes up.

I assume that this is because I am offline, but I have no way of getting online until I get GCC installed.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

How are you trying to install it? Do "yum install gcc" as root. Why is it that "I have no way of getting online until I get GCC installed"?

Do you only want to install the gcc? Insert the install disks and find out the gcc related rpms and install them.Then the system will give the dependence message,working as the message tells will be OK.
