Dear GRASS community,
I am a new LINUX and GRASS user. A couple of days ago I installed LINUX 8.1 the first time of my life and tried to instale GRASS 5.0.1 as well, but unfortunatelly not successfully !
I was (as root) in the GRASS-directory when the following errorline occured after typing: ./configure
checking host system type ... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host for gcc ... no
checking host for cc ... no
configure:error:no acceptable cc found in $Path
can anybody tell me
a.) what cc oder gcc means,
b.) how I can solve this problem,
please ???
Thank you in advance
Karsten
I just compiled grass a couple of days ago, though I use Debian which has
its own set of quirks that may not apply to your system. It sounds to me
like you have a Linux system without a compiler (cc and gcc are
compilers)!? Two things:
First. Have you already tried to install the BINARY version of grass?
You may find that easier to install since it doesn't need to be compiled.
All you do is download the binary file and the install script and run the
install script as root.
Second. It sounds like you may not have satisfied all of the requirements
for grass. You should look at the requirements listed for running grass
and make sure that you have installed all of the libraries (there are
many) that grass depends on to function.

You probably more precisely meant a GNU/Linux system
as compiled by RedHat or Suse.

That is the C-compiler.

If you don't have much experience with building software
and unix in particular you should try to get a binary distribution
of GRASS and not building it yourself.
(There are some available like the FreeGIS rpms and other,
currently don't have the URLs at hand.)
Otherwise you must install a the rpms coming with your distributions
for the software development environment.
