[Cialug] no acceptable cc

[David Courard-Hauri]

When I installed SUSE a while back, I seem not to have installed gcc. I 
couldn't find it on the disk, though I'm sure that's my fault, so I 
figured I'd just download it. However, when I try to install it, I get 
a bunch of successful statements, and then:

 > checking for gcc... no
 > checking for cc... no
 > configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

So now I'm a little confused. First, I know I don't have gcc--that's 
why I'm trying to install it. But shouldn't I have some kind of c 
compiler? I mean, I'm a default kind of guy (yeah, yeah...but there's 
so much to know in the world) and I can't imagine that SUSE would 
default to install without a compiler, would it? If so, is there any 
way to figure out what it might be called so I can just CC="cc_name" 
kind of thing? If I need a compiler, any ideas on where I'd get that? 
Thanks!
