Hello.  My name is Jay and I'm new to Linux.  I do not have a C
Compiler in the version of Linux that I have installed (Fedora 9).  I
am having a problem trying to install the C Compiler from source code
and anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.  I keep getting the
error message "no acceptable C Compiler found in $PATH" when I try and
run the executable configure file (./configure) from the tarball that
I have downloaded, uncompressed and extracted to my home directory.
Here are the steps that I've taken to troubleshoot.


Verified that I do not have a C compiler in any directory with the
command "which gcc."

Tried to install GNU C compiler with commands "update2 gcc" and/or
"yum install gcc."

downloaded the files 
http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/GNU/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/gcc-3.4.3.tar.bz2
and http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/GNU/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/gcc-core-3.4.3.tar.bz2

Uncompressed and extracted the files:tar xjvf gcc-g++-3.4.3.tar.bz2 ;
tar xjvf gcc-core-3.4.3.tar.bz2

Changed to the directory created after the download.

When I try and run the "./configure" file I receive the error response
again: "no acceptable C Compiler found in $PATH."

PLEASE HELP!
