Compiling and Installing apps....

[The_Original_Megabyte]

Hay guys, sorry for the ignorance, only started using Linux sub 6 months ago...

Trying to install KBarcode on Red Hat Fedora Core with little success,

Download from web in .tar format was fine, and running ./configure to get make file is where problems started.

It gets through detecting system properties (CPU, kernel, ect) then searches for (from memory) cl,cg and cc upon which time it complains "No compiler in $PATH" or something to that effect.

I must admit most of my computer indulgence has been with Windows OS's and while I understand the basics of what I need to do, I would prefer to ask some seasoned experts on steps to the solution as opposed to me stubling in the dark for a while.

Any help on how to compile and get this program functional would be appreciated....

Cheers

You need to install GCC.

You need to install GCC.

su -c "yum -y install gcc" is how to do that.

Is it possible to remove GCC, I don't know if I have it u see - This is a linux installation at my work and it is rather "locked off" if you know what I mean.

I am assuming it has been removed due to ./configure not finding one in the $PATH.

Do you know where I can get a copy??
