Guest jwhitehouse Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hello, I'm trying to install Samba using Mandrake Linux 10. When I try to run ./configure I get the following [root@localhost source]# ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH [root@localhost source]# Any ideas where I'm going wrong. P.S. I'm a newbie to Linux :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 If you are running ./configure, you are installing samba from the source, right? This script calls the C compiler (gcc or cc) which are not installed, that's why you get "no" messages. You have to install those compilers - login as root and run urpmi gcc. However, you probably have samba rpm package somewhere on the CDs, why don't you try urpmi samba? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDog Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Yes, Samba is on the CD's or if you have an FTP-install, just urpmi for it. In addition, I can recomend installing KDESambaplugin to get a GUI for configuration. The stupid thing with KDESambaplugin is that you need to be root, to avoid loging in, I've run this command as root from console: kcmshell kcmsambaconf. There must be an easier way to start an application as root? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
