Problem with ./configure

[Sadaunhe]

I am having a problem when I try and install from a tarball. When I type in "./configure" is get an error message that says "configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH". Thanks for any help. If it is not obvious I am a complete newbie

You should check if your /usr/bin has gcc and/or cc in it. If not make a search for gcc and/or cc. If you can't find the files, then you need to install them. If you can find them from somewhere, add that to path or move the binaries to /usr/bin.
