Installing Development tools CentOS

[cwansa]

I am new to linux, I have just installed CentOs version 5.2. When finished, my network eth0 card could not be recognized, I have SIS 191 Gigabit ethernet card. I searched and found driver from SIS for linux, but then I had to download the new kernel source, I did that. and was following instructions, and then when i needed to compile using make i got the following error: make: gcc: command not found.

To do yum install requires you have internet access, which I don't, how could I get the development tools and install them without internet connection?

I am stuck and can't do anything!.

Do you still have the install media (CD or DVD)? If so, you should be able to find the package on there. I'm not 100% sure about CentOS but you should be able to add the disc as a software source and install any packages you need from it.

is your path pointing to the location where gcc is in? like /sbin or /usr/local/sbin etc?
gcc might already be there.

otherwise, if its not there, you can reinstall centos and check the options that might contain the gcc package.

hope that helps.
