Okay I am extremely new to linux (mandriva one) .. BUT I LIKE IT... except for one annoying problem. I cannot seem to install any software using gunzip and tar. I try and keep getting errors. When i use ./configure it says i have no c compiler. I tried to install gcc rpm.. and it looked like it intalled well but i still cannot get the programs to install. I even tried to install it thru the MCC program.. with no luck. I am at a loss.
for example here is the output for my attempt to install superkaramba:
