at this location

#cd /opt/source/ejabberd-2.0.3/src

then it gives an error msg

#./configure
[root@smtp src]# ./configure
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

i have also tried to download rpm from the sourcegorge site named
ejabberd-2.0.3-1.2.i586.rpm
but it is also reqiires dependencies on other rpms so its a big head-ache for me.

Can somebody please help me !!!!!!!!

Hi and Welcome !

You have to install C Compiler first. Does your machine has internet access?
Execute this to install C Compiler.

su -
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel

I would suggest you to install ejabberd through yum only. It will resolve all dependency problems.

su -
yum -y install ejabberd
