make xconfig problems

[kyutums]

I recently installed RedHat 6.2 on my old Lifebook 635T (Pentium 133 with 16 MB RAM). I was trying to change the kernel settings when, after typing make xconfig, the ff. appear:

rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.14/scripts'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkparse.o tkparse.c
make[1]: gcc: Command not found
make[1]: *** [tkparse.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.14/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

hihihi... you need to install gcc.

That's the whole point of a 'normal' compilation. A "make file" uses gcc to compile the raw data of a programming language.

You are almost certainly going to have other problems besides missing gcc.

I bet you are missing binutils as well. Maybe something else... not ncurses if you are using xconfig but something else.

It looks like you are using the rpm of the kernel source and not the raw source. That's good.

The rpm should have forced you to install the other stuff you need. If it didn't it's a bug.

I'm using RH 6.2. Gcc isn't included in the RH 6.2 cd?
