Hmmm... I never tried this but can't one install Apache on non-Windows using a pre-packaged - i.e., pre-compiled and linked - executable? This is where the previous advice on using Gentoo or Fedora Core may come in handy, because it may be readily available for those OSs. The only reason your system wants to see gcc is because it wants to compile the Apache source code using make etc., so if you install using an executable you shouldn't have that problem.

I'n not at all familiar with Linux. How do I install Apache on it? I downloaded the source code, unzipped it, and did ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2. Everything seemed to go normally until this line appeared: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH This means that none of the C compilers gcc, cc, and cl are in my paths. Where can I get gcc, which is supposed to be a single file? (I'm used to using gcc in Windows). By the way, thanks for the help with w;wget. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
