Hello,

Well i am totally new to this scene and want to thank you for this great tutorial.

I have a linux vps (centos-5-i386-afull). But when i try to do ./configure for any package that I need to install i get:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

I tried doing

yum install gcc
yum install gcc-c++
yum -y update
yum install kernel-devel

and various other things. But my problem isn't solved yet still getting no acceptable compiler in $PATH bla bla

forgive me if this is newb question but as i said, i can say I started getting into this tonight.

any help appreciated, thanks.

Try to install "libc-dev" or "libc6-dev".
Under Debian, it fixes the problem. Don't know if it's the case for Fedora.
