how to install a compiler

[nishantraghuvanshi]

Hi Everybody
I am using SuSe Linux enterprise server 10 and I have to install some softwares. But I am getting a error "no acceptable compiler found in $PATH". So I have to install a compiler, can anybody tell me how to install a compiler. I can not install GCC from source coz i dont have a compiler. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance
Nishant

Use your package manager. This should be the first place you start when installing software

Don't run Open Suse but found this on Open Suse Forum. Oh, and Howdy and Welcome to the Forum.

Computer (menu) > Install software > Search for "gcc" > click on the "GCC" > click on "Install"

Hi Guys
Thanks for the help, I have installed GCC on my machine. Now I want to upgrade BIND 9 to BIND 9.3. I have uninstalled BIND by yast->software->software management and again I have installed from source. But how to check whether it is installed or not because the named file under /etc is still missing.

Thanks in advance

Open terminal and use find command.

find bind 9.3

or

find bind9.3

[nishantraghuvanshi]

through
find bind9.3 it is not showing anything
also in yast->software->software management
it is showing not installed.

If you installed by source it will not show up in Yast

try a search for just bind*

The only bind file I know in /etc is the black list

This might help on locations of files
