    An Acceptable C Compiler?

    What is an accpetable C Compiler? I've noticed it come up in a couple of programs I've tried installing but that would come up as my error. Most recently, I was trying to install guile-gtk-1.2-0.31/ for the MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.

    Code:
    [josh@localhost src]$ tar -zxvf guile-gtk-1.2_0.31.orig.tar.gz
guile-gtk-1.2-0.31/

    Well, that went fine, so I decided to continue on:

    Code:
    [josh@localhost src]$ cd /usr/local/src/guile-gtk-1.2-0.31/
[josh@localhost guile-gtk-1.2-0.31]$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr//bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

    So what do I do? All I wanted was a quicktime player! :P

    Try getting an RPM for GCC (and while you're at it binutils and glibc)

    I went to instal the Binutils, and it told me it couldn't be installed because of unsatisfied libopcodes-2.14.90.0.5.so . So How do I instal an .so file? Or what do I do with it?

    Glibc: I found a glibc-2.3.5.tar.gz which I unpacked in the Konsole. It made itself a folder (of course) with a zillion files. So I did this:

    Code:
    [root@localhost glibc-2.3.5]# ./configure
configure: error: you must configure in a separate build directory
[root@localhost glibc-2.3.5]#
    ..So I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do with that big folder! Help! :P

    Well, you need to create a seperate directory and do:
    Code:
    ../glibc-2.3.5/configure --options --more-options
    .
    BUT that will be moot, as you can't compile something without having a compiler (See: Your original Problem )
    So, I'd suggest that you do, in this order:
    1. Install glibc rpm
    2. Install binutils rpm
    3. Install gcc rpm
    4. Compile whatever it was you were compiling in the first place (I'm too lazy to scroll down )
    And if you have trouble locating RPMs for your specific distro/arch, try http://rpm.pbone.net

    Hi

    Did you install the development packages when you installed linux, they should include a basic c compiler to allow you to install gcc from source. They can be found in the install section of the software bit in configure my computer.

    I hit this problem and found this method to work. Found gcc-3.4.4 to work, latest version gcc-4.0.0 won't compile.

    DON'T, I repeat, DON'T install gcc-4.0.0 unless you meet the following requirements:
    1. You are suicidal
    2. You are a developer
    3. You are masochistic (see number 1)
    4. You are very bored

    Using rpmdrake:

    1. Sorry, the following package can't be selected:
    glibc-2.3.4-8mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied rpm >=4.2.2
    2. Sorry, the following package can't be selected:
    binutils-2.16.90.0.2-3mdk.i586 (Due to unsatisfied libopcodes-2.16.90.0.2.so
    3. Sorry, the following package can't be selected:
    gcc-4.0.0-3mdk.i586 (Due to unsatisfied binutils [>=2.16.90.0.2-2mdk]

    Ah! Why is my linux screwed. Help! :P

    Also:

    Code:
    [root@localhost josh]# urpmi gcc
Some package requested cannot be installed:
binutils-2.16.90.0.2-3mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libbinutils2[== 2.16.90.0.2-3mdk])
gcc-2.95.3-1owl.i386 (due to missing binutils-2.16.90.0.2-3mdk.i586) (Y/n) y
medium "contrib" uses an invalid list file:
  mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method
[root@localhost josh]#
    How am I supposed to know which mioror is up to date. I've tried a few and all have given me that not up to date mirror error.

    I think you can see what mirrors have been configured in "configure your computer, software management and media management."

    I would remove the offending mirrors, leaving the installation cds, and reconfigure urpmi from the command line using easy urpmi - http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

    Hrmmm, whats funny is that only 1 of the 3 installation CDs show up as only 1 of 3 would install. I've tried installing Linux probably 7 times and each time they would only let me install disc one. A friend of mine used my discs and all 3 CDs installed fine. If only I had a DVD burner, then I could do it all at once and not have half of my problems. As for the EasyUrpmi site, thats what I was refering to, how do I know which Mirrors are up to date?
