gcc is the most used C compiler in Linux. Just install the "gcc" package.

**Llama2you** · 05-08-2005

Whenever I try to configure the gcc compiler, I gat an error:

Code:

configure&#58; error&#58; no acceptable cc found in $PATH

what does that mean? please hep me, I am new to this.

I just told you, you have to install a C compiler, "gcc" is the package that you need to install for your distribution!

**Llama2you** · 05-09-2005

I have tried to install gcc, both the .rpm package, ehich didn't install, and then from source, which gave me the error posted above.

**serz** · 05-10-2005

Well, what errors did you get when you tried to install the gcc rpm package?

**Llama2you** · 05-10-2005

Code:

configure&#58; error&#58; no acceptable cc found in $PATH

RPM packages are binaries soy ou don't compile anything.. what you're trying to do is compile something without a compiler.

Can't you use YaST to install something you need?..

**borromini** · 05-11-2005

Install apt-get for suse and let that download and install gcc for you... Have a look at http://madpenguin.org/cms/?m=show&id=3601.

Don't worry, it won't be useless afterwards, you can use it to install loads of other programs too
