Need help installing GCC

[seifullaah73]

i have been having trouble since ages to download gcc

i type ./configure

i get the following error

linux:/home/abubakr/Documents/gcc-3.0.4 # ./configure
Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host.
Created "Makefile" in /home/abubakr/Documents/gcc-3.0.4 using "mt-frag"
/tmp/cNf17998/cNf17998.pos: line 7: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

i can't install anything until i get a fully working c compiler

i don't have build-essential package does anyone know where i can get this it is not in the synaptic manager or in yast.

thanks

You need to specify which SuSE you're using.

I can tell you that in SLES 9/10 and openSuSE 10.X/11, under YaST => Search "gcc" - there is a package called gcc.

If your SuSE supports it, you can also use:

zypper in gcc

Searching for packages named gcc:

zypper se gcc

It is available in your installation Media. Open Yast, search gcc in Software Manager and Install it.


Edit :
HROAdmin26 is very fast !

I have OpenSuse 10.0 as there was a problem upgrading it to 10.3

so any ideas i
i searched yast and already installed it and still same error
i ticked it as update and finished and still c compiler error.

zypper doesn't work

[scrarfussi]

there was a problem with zypper in 10.0 and 10.1 have you tried may be installing 10.2 as its gonna be hard to get updates for 10.0

[seifullaah73]

thanks, ill try that

[seifullaah73]

is there any other way of solving this problem instead of going to update it to 10.2 because of the error from 10.3 i fear for the same problem.

any other ideas.
ill keep at it.

I went to a website to help installing a c compiler but thats where my problem comes downloading packages 1 packages causes a conflict of a file it needs like i need to download glibc-devel i download it and it says need glibc i download that it says unresolved requirements /usr/sbin/glibc_post_upgrade and conflicts with
glibc-locale requires glibc = 2.3.5*
glibc-locale requires glibc = 2.3.5-

when i want to download c compiler i get to many last time i downloaded gcc++ and it came up with about 438 conflicts.

[gogalthorp]

in order to install a c compiler from source you must first have a c compiler. It is called boot strapping.

If you installed the OS from DVD or full CD set the DVD/CDs should have the gcc compiler on it/them.

In order to straighten out your installer problem. If you can not get zypper or Yast to work why not tryout Smart

i just was able to download and install glibc-devel, gcc and make i found out that the latest version of these worked only for the latest opensuse version so i had to get an earlier version which worked for opensuse 10.0.

i need gtk and i have gtk 2.8 and i need to install gtk 2.10 and i think i need to have a newer version of opensuse for this as i can't find anything.

as when there is some errors of conflict that require libc_so.6(GLIBC-3.4) or something this shows that a latest version of suse is required which do have that file.

so i will keep trying
