Attempting to install the Broadcom driver for integral wireless card on a Dell M4800 laptop. The process errors and pokes back a message about dkms is unhappy over lack of 'gcc' Found 'gcc' but instructions provided for installation assume you are downloading during the install and since the pc does not have internet connectivity (no wireless) I cannot use that procedure. Downloaded gcc on another system and used USB Thumb Drive to shoe leather express the file to the M4800. Then unpack the tar file and go to the directory created (gcc-7-7.3.0), I have normally used the sequence: ./configure make make install to install prior packages but found no ./configure in the directory gcc-7-7.3.0. Drilling further down and unpacking gcc-7.3.0 revealed a file 'INSTALL' but after reading it I am lost. Is there an easy method to install gcc without a network connection and if so were do I find it? TIA Wilson
