Whenever you find ./configure stops saying it needs a file just open Mandrake Software Manager and search for an rpm of that name. If one is not found then press the 'search by file' button and search again. Once you have found the correct RPM install the '-devel' version of that RPM. The devel RPM's contain the headers that ./configure is looking for which will get compiled into the application you are building.
Look carefully at the output from ./configure Some applications will still build if they do not find the applications they are looking for, but will be lacking some functionality. Just about every library you are going to need is already on your CD's. Scouring the net is rarely necessary. By the way setupterm is on your libncurses5-devel-5.2-23mdk RPM Also BitchX-1.0-0.c17.13mdk is already on your install CD's and BitchX-1.0-0.c18.1mdk is available on Cooker. You can download an RPM here http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=BitchX derek On Tuesday 07 May 2002 6:08 am, Head wrote: > ok i got gcc installed, now it wants setupterm or > tgetnet, and it says it can't find it, i did some > searching on google for setupterm and it said it was > in libtermcap, and its already installed, but cant > find it, where can i find it? > > >Im trying to install BitchX, > >i've downloaded it and un-tar'd it, and then the > >instructions say to run ./configure --with-plugins > >it says > >checking for gcc..... no > >checking for cc..... no > >checking for cl.... no > >configure: error: no acceptible C compiler found in > >$PATH > > > >so i guess my question is where do i get gcc, cc, or > >cl? > > > >TIA > >David > > > >__________________________________________________ > >Do You Yahoo!? > >Yahoo!
