jahla : 01/11/01 11:25 AM : Incident created -   can anyone please enlighten a newbie as to a fix for this problem -- when attempting to ./configure anything i get the following error: [checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH] this has really caused me serious mental anguish as no information can be found concerning the compiler CC after searching LDP and various other sources. i would like to just rpm a new ver of gcc, but even that proves impossible with this deeply rooted problem. the component seems so necessary that i question my installation... i really like my little SNF box, but if i cant get a most basic element such as ./configure -> make -> make install to work then i will surely go insane! btw i found this hangup while attempting to install a third party identd on the linux server so that mirc on a windows client might function properly. any pointers on this topic are also welcome. much thanks in advance to any and all assistance ~ jahla

You can install the gcc RPM from the CD, or get it from a Cookfire mirror, such as ftp://ftp.sunet.se//pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cookfire/i586/Mandrake/RPMS
