I'm a linux newbie and I was wondering how to do it. I'm running Fedora core 4. I can't compile the source code because I don't understand how to configure it. I was reading on it but it is way to comicated to understand. I tried a already compiled binary from openpkg but after I installed it I tried to compile something but it said gcc wasn't installed.

Try configuring yum and doing
You can also install gcc from the Fedora Core CDs.

What application are you trying to install? I'm sure there's probably a precompiled package available.

Yeah, there is a pre-compiled package available but there are other applications that only put out source code so I need it. It is on my Fedora Core 4 dvd because I had it installed before but forgot to install it when I was installing Fedora (If that makes sense). How would I go about installing it from the dvd now?

Ok, I found the following gcc files on the disc, which one should I use?

gcc-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm
gcc-c++-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm
gcc-gfortran-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm
gcc-gnat-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm
gcc-java-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm
gcc-objc-4.0.0-8.i386.rpm

Ok figured that out but now I have an error when trying to 'make" when compiling something.

Are you trying to install xmms? If so, is it not available through yum? Try (as root):Bryan
