HI, Thank you for the help...followed your directions and got to the ./configure. It failed as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] fgrun-0.4.6]$ ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... (cached) yes checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. [EMAIL PROTECTED] fgrun-0.4.6]$ It would not "make." I apparently don't have the C compiler it is looking for. I am running 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 Fedora Core 4. Any ideas? Thx in advance.
