Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me out with what must be a simple problem.

I recently upgraded to the RedHat 6.1 linux distribution (up from 5.2) and
apparently didn't install GCC from the cd while doing so. As the computer
itself is hard for me to get to, I'm trying to compile and install gcc the
old fashioned way (download the tarball, configure, make, etc.)

When I run gcc's configure script, it complains that I need a working
compiler (to which env var CC must be set). This poses an interesting
problem, since the whole point of this is to build install a compiler!

Under the previous linux version, everthing was fine and I used gcc all the
time, relatively painlessly.

I work with interpreted languages and web services, so all this c stuff is
a little bit voodoo for me, but I must be missing something terribly simple
here. 

Any thoughts? 

Thanks,

- Andrew
