i am a newbie in linux, in fact i just started today using fc3. i was trying to install a xine when i got the below errors

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

does this means tat i have to install gcc, cc, cl? in fact i found with most stuff tat i downloaded from sites, i could not do the above if the instructions requires me to..
i just downloaded the gcc, but it seems to take forever to extract.. is there another way? or am i doing it the wrong way?

Yes you do need to download gcc, I recomend downloading gcc as a rpm and installing it that way.

To install a package:

rpm –ivh
ex. rpm -ivh somepackage.1.1-4.i386.rpm

replace the package name with the gcc package name

FC3 CDs should have gcc RPMs.
Just have to install them.

Install them all as

#rpm -ivh gcc*.rpm

This should take care of the dependency problems.

hmm i tink i am giving up..
can anyone just gimme some site for video player?
i am trying to play some video.
i tried xine...which tells me tat i require some zlib or something...which i installed but it still says tat i am lacking it..
then i tried MPlayer, turns out it was command based...and i din get any image either..only sounds...

finally found a rpm and install the old version of xine...*touched* does anyone knows how to remove previously installed players?
