Gcc doesn't like me

Hey Guys,

I managed to find, what i think is the files needed to compile suse files. I found a like and downloaded gcc-3.3.4. After extracting it, and typing ./configure. i get the following error:

Lindows@linux:~/Documents/Downloads/gcc-3.3.4> ./configure
Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host.
Created "Makefile" in /home/Lindows/Documents/Downloads/gcc-3.3.4 using "mt-frag"
/tmp/cNf14816/cNf14816.pos: line 8: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
Lindows@linux:~/Documents/Downloads/gcc-3.3.4>

Does anyone know what this error means?

Hi Lindows,

Catch 22: it appears you are trying to install programs from source. In order to do this you need a compiler - GCC, Glibc and one other...Binutils I think. These need to be installed within your distribution in order for you to compile.

In this case you are trying to install GCC from source without GCC to compile it.

Fire up YAST in SUSE and look for GCC, GLIBC & BINUTILS in the there - maybe list under development.

If I find somethin more concrete I'll let you know.
