i'm trying to upgrade GAIM from version 0.59 to 0.67.  using the rpm didn't

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cd /mnt/win_c2/gaim/gaim-0.67
[EMAIL PROTECTED] gaim-0.67]# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking for sed... /bin/sed

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.
so is it telling me that i need to install some other types of programs in 
order to install this updated version of GAIM?  

thanks in advance.

It doesn't like your GCC compiler, or complains you haven't got one 
installed,
do this,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qa | grep gcc
gcc-c++-3.2.2-3mdk
gcc-cpp-3.2.2-3mdk
libgcc1-3.2.2-3mdk
gcc-3.2.2-3mdk
to see what gcc compiler you have installed.
