Hello again. I discovered yesterday (when I tried to compile Samba, as
suggested to me previously on this list!) that I appear not to have a C
compiler. Oops. Well, I thought, it's on the CD in one of these RedHat
package things so I found gcc and used the rpm thing to install it. But...
now gcc is at least "there" but it doesn't like compiling things much. Pages
and pages of error messages.
Am I likely to be missing some libraries which are in packages I haven't
installed? Is there any way I can see which packages on the CD list gcc as a
dependency which might give me an idea as to what I'm missing? As the
machine is only recently set up I was half tempted to run through the
install procedure again but I thought it wasn't exactly in the spirit of
Linux. :-)
Chris
ps. I haven't included the pages of error messages because I don't want to
spam the list.
