Installing gcc

[vlatkovr3]

I am trying to install the drivers for the Motorola sm56 modem with this command

rpm -Uvh filename

but it sais failed dependencies. It needs gcc. What is gcc and how can i install it. Is it with the GNORPM tool. I can't seem to be able to find gcc as a package. Please, help.

Also how can i choose what to load KDE or GNOME. Thanks.

gcc is a compiler. What distro are you using? If you have the distro on a cd, chances are that gcc is included on that disc somewhere.

I have Red Hat Linux 7.1 on two cd's. Where can i find and how to install gcc.

Pop in the RH7.1 disc 2 and look under /RedHat/RPMS/ and scroll through until you see the .rpm's named gcc. Its been a while since I've used RedHat, you may be able to just right click on the gcc rpms and select install.

If you can't right click on them and install them..... cd into that directory in a console window and type rpm -Uvh filename.rpm

Of course.... replace [filename] with the name of the rpm file ;)
