hi all,
I am a newbie to linux. I have Fedora core4 installed on my machine. As i had downloaded XMMS player source rpm and tried to install that, it was throwing a error saying it needs gcc 3.x to be installed (not even 4.0 which was already installed!). So i had got the GCC 3.3.1 from GNU .org and extracted the filed. Then I ran "./configure" in the shell. it did some processing displaying a bunch of messages(nothing like errors) and ended(successfully). THen i ran "make" which gave out the following error:

I am unable to figure out whats the problem. Can anybody please help me out in this problem?
I also have a copule of general questions:
Why does Fedora have this complicated method of package management?
If Fedora core 5 is out, Can i update my Fedora core 4 installation without any loss of data?
Replies and suggestion are most welcome!!!
Thanks
