Thanx for ur reply. I downloaded squid-2.6.STABLE15 & gcc-3.4.6-8.src.rpm from rpmfind.net (ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/enterprise/4AS/en/os/SRPMS/gcc-3.4.6-8.src.rpm). when i tried to install it using rpm -ivh gcc-3.4.6-8.src.rpm; i get a bunch of the following error/warning messages: warning: group brewbuilder does not exist - using root warning: user brewbuilder does not exist - using root warning: group brewbuilder does not exist - using root warning: user brewbuilder does not exist - using root now what should i do? plz explain in detail as i am a newbie in RHEL 4.0. By the way echo $PATH gives the following output: /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin waiting for your reply.

Your 'C Compiler' (CC) doesn't work/exist? Or maybe it just isn't installed properly. 1) Remove your hack. 2) See if the newer squid finds it better. 3) does "echo $PATH" give you any hints about the problem? 4) check you can run gcc from the command-line (without needing anything but "gcc") 5) Try re-installing gcc.
