OK guys, heres another 1

Was lookin at wine (for curiosities sake) so downloaded the latest source, or so it said.

copied it to /tmp, unzipped it, went into the directory, typed ./configure and this id what i got.

[root@Ezekiel root]# cd /tmp/wine-20020710
[root@Ezekiel wine-20020710]# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

ok so I gather im missin something? what and where and where/how can i fix it?
I got all 3 rh7.3 disks. Is it something on there?

or should i just use rpms lol :

Well Cheers again friskydrifter

First:
Is gcc/g++ in your path? Type:
whereis gcc
and see if it's on your system.
If that doesn't work, these may find it:
locate gcc
which gcc

If it isn't on your system, you need to install it from the
CD's that you used to install your system. If it is on your
system, you need to add its location to your $PATH
environment variable.

Example:
$>whereis gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
$>echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/local/bin
$>PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
$>export PATH
$>echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

In the above example, lines starting with $> indicate
a prompt with user input, lines without a prompt indicate
the example results of the inputs.

Hope this helps,

See if you have gcc installed at all.

rpm -qa | grep gcc

Hahahaha Christ! That was a lesson learnt not to fiddle.

Did a rpm -qa | grep gcc - Nothin.

tried to install the gcc rpm package but i needed some dependencies(easy enuff i thourght, they are on the disks) - then i got stuck - it was asking for the kernel-headers package. Couldnt find it on the disks, hour later i find the release notes for RedHat 7.3 (Valhalla) and it says the kernel-headers package has been replaced by glibc-kernheaders.

Righto! found that and installed it, in with gcc - then installed the g++ without too much of a problem.

Thinking im as clever as can be now - went into the wine directory and ./configure

Ok all seems well - cool
next up - make (somethin) && make (somethin else- cant remember now)

Shit! was goin on here - gettin scared - lines and lines of text but (its cool im tellin myself) nothin really freakin out.

Hmm 15 min later - message - last (something) failed, no disk space remaining. What the? - Panic (Knew i should have given more space for my Linux partition!!!)

ok tried to find where the clutter was in /, couldnt! Damn - just erased some other stuff for a bit of room. thourght ah!! i'll deal with this a lil later - Shutdown.

10 sec later - na i gotta work this out - boot OMFG! wont boot
try single mode - nope. Screaming out curses!!!! - Thinking of boot disks and so forth - Pah! time to repartition anyway.

Thankin myself i back up data ;D
