Hi, I am currently trying to install samba from a .tar.gz file. I typed ./configure and i get the following message: loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH Please help.. I'm not too sure what I'm suppose to do from here. Thanks Joe
Joseph- Trying doing this from your prompt: find / -name gcc Then if gcc is found, do something like this: CC=(your output) ./configure This is a temporary way of saying where your C compiler is installed. It would probably be in your best interest to add the directory you find 'cc' at into your PATH by editing your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever you may have kept in your home directory.

What distrobution? If you are not used to open source programming tools then an rpm file might be a better way for you to go. If you want to GET used to using them then you probably need to install at least some of them.
