Hi all! I was trying to install a mailing list manager (eSquire) on my Linux box (PPro 180/32MB/1GB/4x/etc) last night and found that I had neglected to include a C compiler when I installed RH 6.1. I thought, no problem, I'll just find the appropriate RPM and install it, but lo and behold there is no RPM labeled what I'd expect; i.e., "cc" or "gcc." So finally I just ran an upgrade from the CD-ROM and checked all the packages listed under programming languages that looked like they had something to do with C. It worked! But I'd sure like to know: which RPM is the one that actually includes the GNU C (and C++) compiler? Also, how do you use rpm flags to display the comments about an RPM? (KDE/Gnome tools do this automatically, but I'm not running X on any machine in this particular office, and I'm having trouble understanding the syntax in the rpm man file...) Thanks, Jeff Nelson www.itp.innoved.org
