setting up gcc

[cherryos]

Hi, i'm setting up gcc and i got this error,

root@ubuntu:/usr/gcc/gccbuild# /usr/gcc/gcc-4.0.2/configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

I was wondering how to get rid of it.

you should just be able to download gcc from the synapatic package manager just search for gcc

and dont forget the gcc lib called libgcc i belive. that should install it for you.


to test if its worked just open ypu the terminal and type gcc and you should get this

gcc: no input files

hope this works/helps

Are you trying to compile the compiler without a compiler?
Just install the build-essential package.
sudo apt-get install build-essential

yeah, you were both right, i used the synaptic package manager to install apache and apt-get for gcc. but now, how do i access apache, where is the directory for it? when i type localhost into the address bar i get the apache successfully installed page.
