I know the instructions say: "Second, when configuring a native system, either cc or gcc must be in your path or you must set CC in your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail." and since I can't figure out how to do this, it does indeed fail. Can someone tell me how to get cc or gcc on the system before I install it (I did unzip the files to a directory...). _____________________________________ If you didn't select the gcc development system which comes with your distro when you installed originally, you should be able to do it in YaST (if still a part of SuSE) or by gathering the group of .rpm files required and installing, e.g. rpm -i *.rpm. It takes a copy of gcc (and a bunch of libraries, and more) to make gcc. Tim Prince
