[SOLVED] fc9 wireless problem

[tabris]

just got fc9 installed on my laptop, but couldnt get the wireless internet to work. looked around and found this website:
b43 - Linux Wireless

wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
tar xjf b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
cd b43-fwcutter-011
make

was doing fine till I got down to "make" where I got an error message:

[root@armisael b43-fwcutter-011]# make
cc -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c99 -Wall -pedantic -D_BSD_SOURCE -DFWCUTTER_VERSION_=011 -c -o fwcutter.o fwcutter.c
make: cc: Command not found
make: *** [fwcutter.o] Error 127

cant really figure out what I did wrong, any help would be great, thanks

Which distro are you using?

It looks like you don't have a compiler (which is normal for a lot of distros), but it will be an easy enough job to fix that. Just let us know which distro you're using, and we'll see if we can help.

I am running fedora core 9 64 bits on an acer ferrari 4006 laptop

and according to this page Supported Broadcom devices - Linux Wireless

I should have a broadcom 4318 wireless chip

hi,


install gcc. run the following command

su -
yum -y install gcc gcc++

i supposed that you have a repository that contains development tools. if you dont have any valid repository you can add Livna by going to the next page
livna autoinstaller and click "Fedora 9 repository RPM"
