help - installing gcc 3.4.3 on RedHat 9

[Gersen]

howdy all,

I have a Red Hat 9 box that's primarily used for Linux learning purposes. Right now I'm trying to update a bunch of the modules, and while I'm a decent Linux user, I'm a newbie to a lot of it's configuration.

I have a list of modules I'm trying to bring up to date. The machine doesn't have GCC installed. I have gcc-3.4.3 downloaded and uncompressed. When I try to do a "./configure" I get an error message telling me I have to "set the environment variable CC to a working compiler"...

And until I get GCC on there, I assume I HAVE no working compiler...

Lil help?

You can't compile a compiler if you don't have a compiler already
You'll want to grab an rpm from rpm.pbone.net or use "yum"

[Gersen]

thanks! I will get an rpm.

yum doesn't seem to be available on this box.

While you're there, you'll need to grab binutils and glibc

[Gersen]

did that, but am still having issues:

Okay, two things:
1)what's the exact output of

rpm -i gcc-x.x.x.rpm

2)did you grab a .src.rpm accidentally?
