What I meant was that my main pc has vista on it, and the server has CentOS 4.4.

Oh thank you thank you for the help!, the install gcc worked for me...but it's too soon to celebrate. I just got 2 other errors.

I was able to download and install these:
pkg-config
openSSL
libCurl

Ones that didn't work:
ncurses
libsigc++

I can't seem to install the other things after that. Here's a log of the errors...
This happens after I type "make" for ncurses (I chopped a lot of lines and only included the end, tell me if I should include more):

I tried continuing with "make install" but it also ends up with an error.


This is with libsigc++:

Sorry if I seem like a newbie but this is all gibberish to me.
