I have just installed redhat 8.0 and I'm having trouble installing programs.
I keep getting the error like gcc not found and gnome-compiler not found.
Am I missing something?

This would indicate that you have no C compiler installed. It's kind of hard to compile software without a compiler, so you should install GCC. There are packages for it on your installation CD. You might also want to read the compiling software NHF (http://linuxnewbie.org/nhf/Compiling_Kernels/Compiling_Software.html).

You needed to install the "Programming/Development" packages. Go out and get gcc...

The easiest way might be to boot from your install CD, choose 'upgrade' and then select the programming/development option. Upgrading often takes longer than installing as the installer will be checking the versions of whatever is already isntalled, but this should give you gcc and the glib's that you need for most software and maybe even the QT and GTK+ libs you'll need for many of the GUI apps to build.

Cool. I got a little farther.
i had to install X too
I need to install QT now.

Ihad to add like 400mb of development tools, and I don't really have the space. Do I need all of this?
Is there any way to cut down the size - all I want to do is install a small program.


Thanx for the help so far. I will love Linux
