OK, you also need the libraries, the headers, etc... Most probably, the packages will be named glibc-devel and/or glibc-headers, and you'll probably also need kernel-headers and libncurses-devel (to build lxdialog). I understand this seems complicated, but setting up a build environment on a machine which was not installed with this goal is rather tough. > where can i find one? probably that you can find those packages on the same site you found the gcc binary. Otherwise, check your distro's repository. As I said, I have no idea how to install anything on that distro, nor where to find the packages. > -Atoka Cheers, Willy -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
