Install Apache 2 - GCC cannot create executables

[Terrence Martin]

You should be able to just install the rpms off the cd that you need. 

The trick is to find out what RPMs to install. This is straight forward if 
you have another "full" install (ie custom with all packages, or at least 
all dev packages) and then figure out what libs/commands are missing from 
the failed compile.

eg.

If libm was missing you might try something like...

root@host ~# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libm.a
glibc-devel-2.3.2-4.80
root@host ~# 

You would then mount the installation cdrom(s) (I usually have a copy of 
all the distro files on my file server), and rpm -ivh the desired rpm.
