I'm using Fedora 9 I downloaded dovecot-1.1.3.tar.gz and extracted it. I then opened a terminal in the extracted window. Your install instructions say: For most people, the usual: ./configure make sudo make install but when I did them I got [root at mydomain dovecot-1.1.3]# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl.exe... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. [root at mydomain dovecot-1.1.3]# make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [root at mydomain dovecot-1.1.3]# sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [root at mydomain dovecot-1.1.3]# can you tell me why the install won't work? thanks for any advice.
