Well, bud, you may have more luck in the Linux, Unix OS section of this website.

On that, the problem is very specific: you need something to compile it. Since you're using Red Hat Linux, I'd say find the RPM that has gcc with it so you can run it.

Oh, and Welcome to tech forums Man, hopefully you're question will be answered.

well i had more luck here.and i got the "gcc-3.4.3-2.i686.rpm" will that work and how do i install it?

horndude · 12-24-2004, 01:54 AM

type rpm -i gcc-3.43-2.i686.rpm

must be done as root

type 'man rpm' for details about rpm

eggsucker · 12-24-2004, 02:04 AM

I got this error:

Code:

[chris@Pegaxis chris]$ rpm -i /home/chris/rpms/gcc-3.4.3-2.i686.rpm

Or did you mean use the root argument.
Well this is what i got:

ya you also need the rest of the development libraries needed including:
glibc
binutils
cpp
libc

if youve got the install discset from whatever distro your using, install the whole development package

linux is modular, its made up of a whole bunch of software packages which usually have interdependencies

eggsucker · 12-26-2004, 12:42 AM

what if i dont have the installation disk? can i download it form the net?

intercodes · 12-26-2004, 04:01 AM

eggsucker,
Yes, you can download from the net. These packages are part of the distirbution and should be available in the source sites.

eggsucker · 12-26-2004, 04:05 AM

do you know anywhere to download? I've tried rpmfind.net
