configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

[webers4]

I'm new to linux (probably pretty obvious) and not really good using windows, but it's easy when all you have to do is click 'next', 'next', 'finsih'. Anyway, I'm trying to install gcompris on my son's computer. It's an ASUS eeepc, linux i686. I followed techiemoe's instructions and everything was going well until I tried ./configure. That's
when I got the error message. I looked in the 'more config.log', but not really sure what I'm looking for so here is the log:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just tried 'export CC=gcc' and received 'C compiler cannot create executables'.

Thanks!

OK, not sure if this is proper forum etiquette, but I'm still messing with this as I search and find more info/help.

Just tried 'sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make' and received this:
'Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package gcc is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package gcc has no installation candidate'

You're using the original OEM version of linux on your eee? Xandros?

There should be a much easier way to install gcompris.

Open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line

deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2 etch main contrib non-free

You do need to be root for this. Do you already know how to enable the advanced mode and get root access?

Also, I don't know what text editors Xandros comes with, but you can use any text editor you'd like, again, opened as root.

Once you have edited the file run, as root:

apt-get update
apt-get install gcompris

Silly question, but how do I find and open the /etc/apt/sources.list file?

I'm not too familiar with the eee, but this should work:

Press CTRL+ALT+T to open a terminal. In the terminal, type

sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list

You can now edit the file. The /etc/apt/ bit is just a path to the file, like C:\Documents and Settings\file.txt in Windows, for example.

Thanks for all your help. I did the 'sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list', but wasn't quite sure what to do with it. I tried 'sudo apt-get install gcompris' (I know I skipped a few steps) and it looks like it may have worked. My kids are playing (testing) it right now.

Thanks again!
