Problem Compiling Gaim
 

Gaim has always compiled for me on this computer... ever since I upgraded my KDE. Maybe I messed something up :( Anyway here is the error I get.

/bin/sh: line 1: cc: command not found
make[4]: *** [blib/arch/auto/Gaim/Gaim.so] Error 127

Have you tried a pre-compiled package from linuxpackages.net? I know that it is very un-slack to get anything precompiled.... but I have found that GAIM is such a headache that it is just work getting the tar.gz.

what is the output of
whereis cc

This is all it says when I do that

On my system cc is simply a link to gcc. You might see if you have gcc installed and if not install it.

grrr... maybe i messed it up when i upgraded gcc lol
