I apologize in advance if these seem like silly questions, but I'm a bit of a newbie, at least when working with Linux at this level. I've just installed RedHat ES3 with a close-to-default software package configuration. I just select BASE components for X Windows, GNOME Desktop, Graphical Internet, Games, Server Configuration Tools, DNS Name Server, Administration Tools & Printing Support. I didn't select any optional components for these packages. I then removed sendmail, redhat-config-samba & samba using RPM. I then ran Up2Date and updated everything except mdadm, perl, samba, smaba-common and open-office.org-libs and restarted. Perl 5.8.0.88-4 is currently installed. Now, I want to manually install the latest version of Perl. When I run "sh Configure -de" it aborts with an error that it can't find the C compiler. It's looking for "cc". I thought that maybe I needed to install the base Software Development package, so I tried System Settings => Add/Remove Applications. When I try that, it fails with an unlocatable package krb5-libs which is required by krb5-workstation. Here are my questions: 1) Shouldn't the base install that I did include a working C compiler? 2) If so, what is it called (ie: cc) and where does it reside? 3) How do I recover from here to get the C compiler installed so that I can update Perl? 4) Should I uninstall Perl before installing the new version (I'll bet there are too many dependencies for that to be practical)? If so, how? Thanks for your suggestions! -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
