Unable to configure gcc on opensuse11.3
 

Hi,

I have installed apache on opensuse11.3, with that i need to install gcc to setup mod_proxy html.

I installed gcc, g++, make packages and also i have a file called "gcc-4.6.0.tar.gz" and i extracted this file in /home location.

when I try to run the ./configure file on this folder,I'm getting the below error.

/home/gcc/gcc-4.6.0 # ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/bin/sed

checking for cc... no

configure: error: in `/home/gcc/gcc-4.6.0':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Please let me know what could be the issue.

Thanks in advance !

How did you do that ? With Yast ? Or # zypper in gcc-c++ make ?
Then you should definitely have a working gcc.

GCC cannot be configured in that way. And do not run 'configure' as root.
Gcc-4.6.0 may not be very useful : Is for future software mostly.
May not be able to compile very much current or last years software.
The compilers already available for Suse 11.3 will do fine.

A gcc build example :

I.e gcc requires a build directory outside the gcc source directory.

Installed gcc with yast

I've successfully installed gcc through yast. Thanks
