Hiya!
I'm running Red Hat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.5 and I've got 72 Mb RAM. I go into
runlevel 3 upon booting my machine, and startx gives me the KDE.
I tried to install the blackbox window manager, but ran into the following
trouble.
As root, I did 'tar -zxvf blackbox-0.51.3.1.tar.gz'
and then I changed directories into the new directory, and said
'./configure' -- here's the output I got:
creating cache ./config.cache

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create
executables.
Do any of you gurus have advice for me? Do I need a more recent copy of GCC? Am
I missing development libraries? Help!
Also, assuming I do get everything set up O.K. which file(s) would I need to
alter in order to start blackbox instead of the K Desktop? Maybe it
would be one of the Red Hat or Sys V configuration files, no?
