Guest eauthentic Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Hello everyone! I'm new to linux and I've recently installed mandriva 10.1 on my pc and now I have a problem and it's driving me crazy!! Every time I try to install something I get this error at ./configure : "No acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" I've searched all over the internet and I realize I need to get GCC but the problem is, it's also a tar.bz2 file, which means I have to "make" it(which I can't do). Will anybody help a newbie out with a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 At the top of the MUB web page is a link to Easy-Urpmi. Have you set up urpmi? This is the easiest way to install software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eauthentic Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Thanks for the quick reply dan! It looks familiar and I think I've done it a few days ago, but just in case I'll do it again and check back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eauthentic Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) I downloaded easy urpmi and typed urpmi gcc in terminal as a wild guess and it worked. thanks dan! Edited December 15, 2005 by eauthentic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalex20 Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) I downloaded easy urpmi but that didn't give me the gcc. Anyway I'm still confused and frustrated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You shouldn't download EasyUrpmi - it's not a program but rather a tutorial. I don't think you should use it either - gcc should be there on your installation CD. Go to "Start menu" - "System" - "Configure your computer" or run "mcc" as root. Once in the Control Center, go to "Software Management" and choose "Install software". This will launch "Rpmdrake". The rpmdrake window contains, at its left, the list of all the programs available for installation. Find "gcc" there. Mark it, confirm the installation of the dependencies. Press "Install" button, insert your installation CD as required. Alternatively, if you're not afraid of CLI, run "urpmi gcc" as root.
