Hi, I don't want to be a pest, but I do have a problem that I hope someone would be willing and able to help me solve:
I tried to install Python, but I got error messages about not being able to find a compiler (during configuration). So, even though the package manager on my system (Mandrake 9.0) says that gcc is installed, I decided to download a newer release of it (gcc-3.4.0). Problem is it, too, seems to need a compiler in order to install. So I seem to be trapped in a Catch-22. Can't install a compiler because I don't have a compiler installed. Here is what I get: # ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c ./configure: line 2332: cc: command not found *** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed. *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler. # Any suggestions? Thanks, Daniel
