Why do you have to install by building from source? If all you want is to just get it installed, there are far more easier ways, or if you want to learn building from source, go ahead. > checking for gcc... no > checking for cc... no > checking for cl.exe... no > configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH > See `config.log' for more details. > pras@pras-VirtualBox:~/Downloads/ruby-1.8.7-p174$ nano config.log " > > Is that i need to install gcc ,cc, cl.exe ? > Please help to get me installed. Yes you need to have the toolset required to build from source. If you are on Debian or Ubuntu, you could just install the package 'build-essential' which should install most, if not all the tools required to build from source.
