gcc making me want to break my computer
First off I'm a total newb and I'm trying to instal gcc 3.3 and when I configure it I get the same error over and over again:
you must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler
Any help would me greatly appreciated, I've been trying this for the past 4 hours and I'm about ready to kill myself...

Are you building by source? If you are building gcc, I'm pretty sure that it'll at least need cc, the c compiler. What distro are you using? Do you know if you have cc installed (try 'which cc')?

Yeah I'm building by source, that appears to be the only way to do it. Im guessing I don't have CC installed, because that's where the error was coming up. I'm using mandrake 9.1...

Did you try 'which cc'? If you installed Mandrake, I don't know how you didn't get cc or even gcc installed at the base but I suppose you can use RPMs to do the work.
