Hi,

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I wanted to repeat my initial 
question in the hopes that my inability to express my problem was 
preventing a response (no sarcasm intended)....

I don't quite have enough HD space for an install which would include 
compiler support. As it is, I'm trying to figure out which RPMs I'd need 
to install to add compiler (gcc) support to an existing install (the 
internet server package). Right now, I'm getting error messages when I 
go to compile anything saying that "gcc could not create executables". 
This happens everytime I run a configure script, and more specifically, 
when it is testing for whether GCC works.

I've installed (using the included RPMs from the CD):

make
binutils
cpp
gcc

What else would I need?


did you make sure you had glibc installed? If write a "hello world"
program with
 <stdio.h> and get "stdio.h not found" then that may be missing try "rpm
-q glibc" to see?.  Make sure you install them from the ppc directory of
your install cd or download them froma atrusted source.  The YDL2.0
"home install" needed the glibc-2.2.1-0f from the cd to be get the GNU
complier to work..
