Hello, Im new to Linux i am using Suse.10 and KDE. With Konsole as a shell environment as i think its called and am having problems installing an apache webserver. To do so i need a c compiler such as GCC. I downloaded the whole box and dice from GCC 4.4.1 tarball and extracted it. I then tried to configure the GCC program following the directions, of creating an objdir and a srcdir: THis is what i typed, as i wanted gcccomp to be the objdir and gcc-4.4.1 was the extracted download linux:/usr/local/gcccomp # /home/alban/bin/gcc-4.1.1/configure creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether ln works... yes checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH linux:/usr/local/gcccomp # I then tried to specify the folder inside the gcc-4.4.1 because i thought it must be in there but that didnt seem to work and on rereading the installation instructions i dont think that was right. Anyway it didnt work this is what happened. linux:/usr/local/gcccomp # /home/alban/bin/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking LIBRARY_PATH variable... ok checking GCC_EXEC_PREFIX variable... ok checking whether to place generated files in the source directory... no checking whether a default linker was specified... no checking whether a default assembler was specified... no checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. linux:/usr/local/gcccomp # So i figured i`d check out what a PATH is. So anyway 2 paths which are specified as paths the /home/alban/bin: and /usr/local/bin: dont contain any command files at all. Some of the others have heaps of command files in them like the /usr/bin path. Do i need to change where it looks for a cc or something else? Can anyone help I`ve tried heaps of things but can`t seem to get anywhere. i tried typing CC=gcc export CC If you can keep things simple for me as i have a hard time following most of the installation instructions. ty Glorfinion -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/config-prob-no-acceptable-cc-found-in-%24PATH-tf2388318.html#a6658145 Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
