Compiling Errors

I'm new to Linux and I just installed a version SUSE 10 that came with the
"SUSE Linux 10 for Dummies" book. Everything is fine so far, except
whenever I try to compile a new app using ./configure, I get this error
message:

Timothy@106-205:~/apps/tse3-0.3.1> ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

This happens with every program I try to install. Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.

yast -i gcc, or install gcc using the YaST Software Management tool.

that should fix it. You dont have the GNU C compiler installed. You may
also have to install automake and autoconf.

I opened the YaST software management tool and typed in GCC in the search
bar and these packages came up:

cpp
libgcc
libgcj

Now what?

GCC should have come up in the list. Did you type it in lowercase? Also,
just try yast -i gcc from a command line terminal as root, it should
install gcc and any packages it depends on.

I ran yast -i gcc from the command line as root and I got this message:

Error:

Following packages could not be found on the medium:
gcc

Your CD's may be incomplete. Try going to yast "add installation source"
and add this as an HTTP source:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/d...S/inst-source/

You should be able to get the GCC packages. In fact, if you remove the
CD installation source, you should be able to get all packages directly
from this mirror without having to swap CDs every time you want to
install something.

Here's info on how to do it:

Here's another source of info about changing your install source too:
