C Compiler

[X-Calibur]

Trying to install TuxTime...

folder is in /home/pcote/TuxTime

runninf ./configure gives "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH"

How do I set the $PATH so it can find the C Compiler (must be installed by default right?)

Sorry for being such a n00b.... but I'de rather try those questions with you guys then in the cruel world out there...

Thanks for the input

ANyone?
Do I have to be SU to get this to work? I'll have another try

You generally do the following as a normal user:-

./configure
make

Then you slip into a phone box, change into your SuperMan outfit and type:

make install

Have you gcc installed?
[wayne@criten wayne]$ rpm -qa | grep gcc
gcc-gnat-3.2-7
gcc-3.2-7
libgcc-3.2-7
gcc-g77-3.2-7
gcc-java-3.2-7
gcc-c++-3.2-7
[wayne@criten wayne]$
gcc-3.2-7 is the main RPM package... If not, using the new RH8 package doo-dah (menu--->system settgins--->packages) and select the C compiler, it will ask you to insert CD bla and do the whole install for you. :D

I was doing the right thing (I read the install file before....whooohoooo)

Just seems that I did not had the C compiler installed, a bit odd that it doesn't install by default...

It's really easier with Windows ya know..... and beside I am not stock in 800X600 resolution ... on a GeForce 4....

I'll try updating the xfree86.org

Ciao

Cool, now grab the 2.4.19 kernel and compile it too!

Show off...

Hum... cannot even install the new Xfree86 and you think I can compile the kernel.... LMAO!

Installed XFree86 4.2.0
Went okay
Tried "XFree86 -configure" says not enought permission... wtf I'm "su"
Tried upgrading to 4.2.1, says I must install v.4.2.0 first... thought I did that..? Don't tell me these pups need a "reboot"....

If I can't get better resolution, it's bye bye Tux... I'll take my chances with Gentoo or Mandrake. Geeze it's a GeForce 4, recent enought but not too recent (MSI flavor MX420).

:rolleyes: I hate being a n00b...

To up the resolution just pick a monitor with similar specs... try one of the SyncMaster line or similar....

[dnar]

X, your monitor selection simply results in a line or two like this in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Display 2"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
DisplaySize 406 304
HorizSync 90.0 - 100.0
VertRefresh 72.0 - 76.0
ModeLine "1600x1200, 76 Hz" 205.2 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
EndSection

Note the HorizSync/VertRefresh lines... You can manually dial in your own sync range (as root or su) then restart X (not the person). :D

killall X

Note, my monitor handles upto 150Hz verticzal, but I tell X to keep it in the 72-76Hz range, as I want the max monitor mode of 1600x1200 @ 76Hz. The displaysize forces X to understand my monitor resolution is to 100dpi and not 75. The modeline is advanced tweaking to get the positioning correct, just ignore it. Also ignore "Display 2" as I have two such defs, one for each monitor. I am about to go triple head too, so that should be fun, 4800x1200 desktop. :D
