Install the packages for gcc. RH 7.2 setup allows for you to be able to go through and modify the settings with the initial install CD's I believe, or to update it, without upgrading per se. If not, you'll have a lot of work ahead of you. Not only will you need the gcc libs (common c libraries) installed, but you will also need the libraries required by gcc. With Slackware, it's as easy as using packagetool to add a separate package entirely (or in this case a set of them), with RH, unfortunately, rpm's rater picky about having packages set in a specific order. >what in the world is going on? Go buy a good Linux manual. There's plenty of them out there.. Since you're running RH, I believe there's a manual called RedHat for dummies (no offense meant, it's the series title, and it's a damn well written series). You should also grab a System Admin manual (again, look for the dummies series, I think there's one out there for SysAdmin), because A> root should NEVER be running a mud, game, or anything of the like. B> if you're having problems with common libraries such as gcc and the like, you'll probably have problems in the future. Solution(s): A> if this is a fresh install (just put on the computer), you can go through and reinstall with little problem. I believe RH 7.xx allows you the option of choosing what kind of server you want to install at the beginnin. Go with a development server ( I forget all of the choices to be honest). IF you don't know what you're doing, don't customize the install, or you run the risks of missing something you critically need. B> if this isn't a fresh install, go through, try to update the settings (pop cd 1 in, reboot and see if you can update the install, simply by adding in the packages you need. C> use slackware: Slackware is a MUCH more newbie friendly distro of linux, while RH can be complicated to set up at times. If I had to start from scratch again, with nothing but RH, I probably wouldn't have bothered setting up Linux at all.. ------------------------------------------- TJW: Head tech, Dreamless Realms Mud Personal: http://twhiting.kyndig.com Mud: http://drealms.kyndig.com Snippets http://drealms.kyndig.com/snippets Telnet telnet://drealms.kyndig.com:9275 The OLC2 Pages http://olc.kyndig.com -------------------------------------------
