installing cc and gcc

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to install ImageMagick, but it appears that I don't have gcc installed, when I try to install gcc, it appears that I don't have cc installed:

1. does it really has to be that long to install IM in this case ?

2. where do I get cc rpm or alike + install info. ?

Thanks in advance!

 

Which Linux distribution do you use?

 

Linux Mandrake 9.2

Linux Mandrake 9.2

 

I think you can search for packages with

Code:

urpmi -y <search string>

(please have a look at

Code:

man urpmi

to read about all options).

After you've found the necessary package (e.g. gcc), you can install it:

Code:

urpmi <package_name>

Afterwards, you should be able to install ImageMagick (but you could also search for an ImageMagick package with urpmi and then install that package, if available, instead of compiling it from the sources).
