configure: error: in `/tmp/SBo/gnome-mplayer-0.9.8':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
The config script can't find a compatible compiler to use. You need to install gcc first, and ensure that it's configured properly so that it's location is in your PATH variable.
It appears you have not installed Slackware's development packages (the packages in the "d" series, like gcc).
If you don't know Slackware well, better start with a full installation.
What you pointed to was not a SlackBuild for gcc. On slackbuilds.org you will only find scripts for software which is not part of Slackware.
Just install Slackware in full.
No this has nothing to do with your error. You just need the gcc C compiler and tools which are in the 'D' package tools set (development) on the installation disk. You should always install the development tools for any machine you may be building on. If you haven't (and it looks like you haven't) just go back and reinstall them.
Edit: Apologies - I left my input window open while Alien Bob was posting so I missed his prior posts and duplicated the information.

So is this a rebuild or can you show me how to install this from the CD.?
Well you can start by adding the package set D to you existing build - hopefully you haven't left too much else out! It's really best, when starting out (I would even say always), to do a full install.
Pop in your install DVD and run this :
Code:
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
su -c "installpkg /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d/*.txz"
and all the development package series will be added.
I always think there is a way to get pkgtool to install entire package series but I can never get it working so the above will work.
root@zorro:/home/siawacsh# installpkg /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d/*.txz
Cannot install /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d/*.txz: file not found
root@zorro:/home/siawacsh# "installpkg /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d/*.txz"
bash: installpkg /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d/*.txz: No such file or directory
root@zorro:/home/siawacsh# installpkg /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d/*.txz
Cannot install /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d/*.txz: file not found
