blackbox 0.65 install problems

[eric1]

Hi,
I'm currently running Gnome and was wanting to try something different. I read few different posts on these forums and blackbox kept popping up as alternative. I downloaded the blackbox0.65 tar.gz file and then did the tar -zxvf blackbox.... command. The file landed in a directory and everything seemed fine and dandy. So, I entered the directory, typed the ./configure command, and then received the following error
checking whether build environment is sane...yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}...yes
checking for working aclocal...missing
checking for working autoconf...missing
checking for working automake...missing
checking for working autoheader...missing
checking for working makeinfo...missing
checking for gcc...no
checking for cc...no
and so on.....
can anyone see what i'm doing wrong or am i really missing files that i need to make this work?

Thanks,

eric

by the way, how do i take text from the console and insert into a forum post? just curious.

to copy... highlight text, and then middle click where you want it to go.


You need to install gcc and so on. There should be binaries too if you'd rather use those.

thanks. i found out that i didn't install all the required features during setup of redhat. oh well, reinstalling isn't that bad now that i've done a few times.
