Installing Dependencies

[dirshah]

Hi All:
I have a very basic knowledge of Linux and I am trying to install Apache server on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64). The isntall failed as

• it requires APR and APR-Util to be installed.

• I downloaded APR and tried to install it but it failed as it requires gcc to be installed first.

• I installed a gcc rpm and tried to install that but it also failed because it requires gcc47.

Well thats enough for a newbie to loose hope .That is why I am posting here to ask whether there is any way of installing all the dependencies and the apache server with a single command or not. If not, what steps should I follow to complete the installation.
Thanks in advance

openSUSE uses the zypper package manager so I guess that SLES does also. In such a case

zypper install apache

or maybe

zypper install httpd

should work depending on what the package is called. This should resolve the dependencies for you. This will be a binary install rather than a source build.

A cheat sheet for zypper.

[edit]
It appears that

zypper source-install httpd

will install from the source code

Thanks for your timely response. I did the following

• downloaded httpd-httpd-2.4.3.tar.gz

• Unzip it with gunzip -d httpd-2.4.3.tar.gz

• Extracted it to httpd-2.4.3 with tar xvf httpd-2.4.3.tar

• Outside the httpd-2.4.3 directory I ran zypper install httpd-2.4.3

And I got the following on the console:

Restoring system sources...
Warning: No sources. Operating only with the installed resolvables. Nothing can be installed.
Parsing RPM database...
package 'httpd-2.4.3' not found
Summary:
Nothing to do.

Any ideas?
Sorry for me being so dumb.

zypper will download the required packages from the repositories. You don't need to supply the version. If you are a beginner, I would recommend staying within the repos while you gain familiarity. So it should be as simple as (as root)

zypper install httpd

I am no expert, I'm studying IT network administration. When we install apache we use the software manager in yast and when you select apache it automatically instals any dependencies it needs.
