[SOLVED] installing C compiler red hat Enterprise 5

[emirsosa]

so i just finish installing redhat now i need to install a program called request tracker.


ive downloaded the source and extracted the tarball but when i run

./configure

it says this

checking if group apache exists... found
checking if database name is valid... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/var/rt-3.8.8':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

it seems i dont have a c compiler

ive been google around all morning with no luck

some people say to use the installation cd but whenever irun the gcc rpm it needs dependencies. when i go to install that dependencies it needs another dependencies and so on.


other say to use yum but it says i need to be registered with RHN.

when i go to the add/remove software this is nothing that says C compiler


pls help me

You can set up yum to use the CentOS repositories instead of the Red Hat ones.

if you aren't paying for RHEL license, then you should just install CentOS in the first place IMO, it will be a little cleaner than just using their repos (though that will work)
