Hi, I have RedHat7.3 and want to install some new software, (./configure) but I got the message: configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH Is gcc/cc not installed on RH7.3 How can I install it without gcc/cc? Using RPM? Thank you. Sebastian

GCC is not always installed, it depends on what packages you choose during installation. If you didn't choose "software development", i don't think it's in your box. Another test you can try is typing: rpm -q gcc and you should get an answer like "gcc-2.96-110". If you do, gcc is installed. But to be on the safe side, type "echo $PATH", and you should have "/usr/bin" somewhere in there...if it's not there, the ./configure script cant find it! IF you didnt have it in your path, add it with this command: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin and try ./configuring again

And if somehow you didn't install GCC initially, then run upgrade from the CD and pick to have it install again... Otherwise, you can download the latest version of GCC, 3.1, and install it yourself! Lawrence

Also, try: export CC=gcc
