configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

How can I fix this? I want to run Xine. Please tell me if I need to give you any information. Thank you in advance.

Are you logged in as root?
If so:
Looking at the problem it states is that 'There is no C compiler on $PATH'
Run a whereis or locate on GCC.
The enter set path=$PATH$:"the path of GCC from the whereis command" (No quotes)
To make sure that it isn't already on the $path type just type 'set' and look for path. (I'm not sure but I think 'set path' shows the path but because I haven't tried it I wouldn't recommend it)
You must do this from the command line.

Chance are the gcc lib isn't installed. Wasn't on my RH. Suggest use your package manager to load it on.

[MattTheHobo]

my package manager keeps crashing I will try later, Thanks for all your help though. Any more thoughts would be greatly apprectiated.

[Chris H]

There's a way to rebuild the rpm database that should fix the crash - anyone?

[Hellmasker]

crashing? to rebuild the rpm database run
rpm --rebuilddb

my guess for the firs tthing is u dotn have gcc isntalled. type
rpm -qa|grep -i cc

and check that gcc-versionnumber and libgcc-versionnumber appear

Thanks. Lol, now I can't even get into linux. It says I have some kind of kernel error. I assume that is pretty serious.

Can you tell us what the exact message is, and what you did before it happened? If you can remeber it, that is

i did the
Code:
./configure

but now how do i open it?

Supposing you did the stuff you was supposed to do, just "xine file". Like, "xine Free-Software-Song.ogg" would start to play that file. Just like that would you open most media files.

Good luck

but can you like open xine without a file like is there an icon for it or do i have to do a command with a song to open it
