i just downloaded ver 3.02 of kpilot and decided to try my first compiling operation (compiling-is that the word?) it didn't go well, here is what happened: [root@localhost kpilot-3.0.2]# ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one [root@localhost kpilot-3.0.2]# ./configure --host=i586 loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i586-pc-none checking target system type... i586-pc-none checking build system type... i586-pc-none checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... missing checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for a C-Compiler... checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. [root@localhost kpilot-3.0.2]# two apparent problems there: 1. makeinfo - is this an rpm because i've searched my install cd and i can't find it 2.
