Mike Douglas Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 its a C compiler and it looks like your missing it. Your distro is Red Hat Personal Desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRKx Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 In the Mandrake package manager (Damned if I remember what it's called,) make sure you have gcc and all of its dependencies installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted December 16, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 16, 2003 It might be called "development", or something like that. It doesn't mean software packages 'under development'. It means software packages used for software development (like compilers and programming languages. If all you wanted is a Mandrake system out of the box... errr, CD, then you wouldn't need these programs. But, if you want to install software you find at sourceforge, etc., then having these compilers is highly recommended. :) Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 It's always a good idea to install developper packages becasue you'll probably be compling something, or need kernel headers, or whatnot at some point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
