Dear readers,

I have a little problem, i want to install vmware 5 on my Suse laptop. I installed the vmware software, along with the update, but the setup was halted because i don't have gcc installed on my system. I typed "rpm -qa kernel* gcc* make" and got this reponse:

make-3.80-188.

So, to make a long story short, i need to install gcc but i don't know how.

I appreciate all suggestions

Hello,

You should be able to find the GCC RPM packages inside your SUSE cds/dvd. Make a search for *gcc*.rpm to locate them and then install them using rpm (i.e. "rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RPMS/gcc-4.1.1.i386.rpm").

Also, I think YAST has a system for automated installation of any application, check it out and let us know!

cheers

Having used Suse Linux in the past (won't in the future :P ) I would recommend installing gcc through Yast
Let us know if you have any problems
