command line installation in SUSE 3.4

[klinker79]

hi

trying to do installs w/shell console, configure.logs come back reporting 'no compilers found'

here's a sample:

:/usr/local/src # cd kbear-2.1
:/usr/local/src/kbear-2.1 # ./configure
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 for -p flag to install... yes
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.
000bcd7a6d94:/usr/local/src/kbear-2.1 #

so...how might i go about getting compatible compilers ? and more specifically where ought they be put so the install script can see'em ?

thanks

Wow that is really old. Do you still have the installation media? You might find gcc on that. A newer version may not work.

Hello, the gcc installation folder should be /usr/lib, the install should place all the compilers in the right place for access by the script...

But, you might not find a gcc that is back dated enough to work with 3.4 like gogalthorp stated...its worth a try go to gcc.gnu.org to find the gcc compilers...

thanks brahan7 and gogalthorp.

and yep. she's kinda old. i've been looking in the folders for the compilers and so far nada. suspect this may be indicative of a bad install, that's only revealing itself now. we shall see. will post results as they occur.

thanks again.

Newer versions don't install the gcc by default. You must specify the install.

I suspect that the older versions did the same. Why install it if you are not going to use it. Saves disk space. And in those days sapce was much more a premium.

good luck
