ImageMagick - no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

[lighthouseweb]

I have Centos 5.4 installed on my dedicated blade server.. (I thought I had some other OS - ignor SUSE 10.1 opps)

I'm trying to install ImageMagick (new to this so please be nice ) - I didn't find it on my server i did do what they said but not there..

1. I downloaded the file to the ROOT (i hope that the right Place)
2. cd ImageMagick-6.6.0-5
3. ./configure
4. This ERROR CAME BACK

See `config.log' for more details.

I'm stuck on the no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH - they don't really tell me what do to when you come to this ERROR MSG

I know i need a C compiler but what do I do from here?

Thanks - I will be posting questions on this forum for sure..

imagemagick.org / script / install-source.php - is where i'm getting the info from delete the spaces as it won't let me post..

You need to use the packaging tools (YaST) to install gcc (and glibc-devel). On a side note, did you install openSUSE 10.1 or SUSE 10.1? openSUSE 10.1 was one of the buggiest openSUSE releases and you could be better off using a different release e.g. 11.2.

IT was pre-installed on my server for me.. when the hosting company installed it..

What is YaST - where do i get this

I've moved your thread to the Red Hat / Fedora Fedora Forum. CentOS is pretty much the same thing as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but without the Red Hat logos and paid support.

CentOS uses YUM for package installation rather than YaST.

You might want to consider editing the distribution that you are using in your first post of this thread.

ya i can't see the logo's

so far i can only see the SSH Terminal and plesk..

any idea how to use the YUM to get the c compiler to work?

For setting up and using YUM:

CentOS: Managing Software with YUM

Once it's setup and working properly, I think the following command should do it:

yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

Just question i go here cyberciti. biz /faq/centos-linux-install-gcc-c-c-compiler/

and its says this # yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

what is the diff

and do i do this from THE ROOT dir?

thanks for help
