Trouble installing stuff

[great1122]

here is what i get when i run ./configure

[root@localhost swfdec-mozilla-0.8.2]# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk

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.

For basically anything i tried to install using this method this specifically referring the mozilla plugin swfdec. the configure ran for about 3-5 seconds and then this came up.
here is my config log after the message above:

See `config.log' for more details.

You must have installed YDL without the "Software Development" option checked -- you don't have gcc installed ...

You'll need to:

Code: Select all

su

<root password>

Code: Select all

yum install gcc

Code: Select all

exit

However, the latest version of swfdec and swfdec-mozilla may prove to be challenging to compile on YDL 6 because there will be other things you either need to install via yum, or get an updated version by downloading the source and compiling. Check the documentation for minimum versions of what you'd need (with any luck it will be specified, usually in a text file called "INSTALL" and/or on the website for a project ...

I have a short guide for compiling in general here:

For basically anything i tried to install using this method this specifically referring the mozilla plugin swfdec. the configure ran for about 3-5 seconds and then this came up.

The latest version of swfdec is mostly incompatible with YDL 6.0's base libraries. You'll want to set up a parallel build tree if you want to build this.

See this post here:

Thanks for all the help. I did install this without the software development so i guess thats my problem.
