Installation Problem: Checking for gcc ..... no

Hi,

I am a newbie in Linux. Please help.

I use RedHat 9.0. I tried to install Nessus but I have the following problem during the compilation:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@pclinux download]# cd nessus-libraries
[root@pclinux nessus-libraries]# ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to rpm the following packages again:
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
libgcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm

However it indicated that all packages have already installed.

Please help.

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

I searched once again for this topic in this forum. I finally got the answer from a post. The solution is install ALL Development Tools:

To install the compilers, etc.
Click on the redhat in the bottom left corner.
Click 'System Settings'
Click 'Add/Remove Applications'
Enter Root password.
Scroll down to "Developement"
Install all Developement packages.

Best regards

Glad to see you found the solution by searching the JL forums as it's a common problem here. :)

Hence the reason for my 'Search First - Ask Second' quote in my signature.
