configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH in MySQL 4.0

[monu_1]

Dear Mastero,

I want to install mysql-4.0.27.tar.gz on my fedora core 1.

But after when i buid configure as follow

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-large-files --enable-shared=yes --with-readline

i get an error at the end

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH


I have also check above rpm as

rpm -qa | grep gcc* and it gives result as-

libgcc -3.3.2-1
libgcj-3.3.2-1
gconf-editor-2.4.0-1


but problem is still there(configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH )

what should i do? is that my compiler is not supporting ?

Plz advice me soom i m waiting.

Thanks in Advance.

There doesn't seem to be a gcc compiler in your list. (libgcc = shared support library)

Try installing gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm.

Cheers,
Wout

[monu_1]

thanks,

But hoe to install above rpm plz suggest.
i haven't got actual location of abve rpm

http://rpm.pbone.net is a nice site for searching RPMs :-)

Check this link:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=31&size=3719822&name=gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm

Cheers,

[monu_1]

Thanks,

I have installed gcc-3.4.6 in path /usr/local/gcc-3.4.6/gcc

but problem is still there.I m totally confused.
But i think there is problem of setting of environment path for gcc.if it is then how to do it.

Plz suggest if any other issues.

Regards,
MKS

[Wouter Jagers]

The following command checks whether gcc is in your PATH:
# whereis gcc

Not there ? Try and add the location of your gcc to your PATH variable like this:
# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/gcc-3.4.6

Cheers,
Wout

[monu_1]

but i have done as u said setting path

whereas whereis gcc response me
gcc:

and nothing

I want run gcc from my shell prompt but its still answering command not found.

is there configuration process for gcc compiler??

i wanna output from $ gcc -v but still sayning command not found.

Plz suggest how to configure gcc


regards
MKS

[Wouter Jagers]

This command should show whether or not your gcc has been properly installed:
# rpm -qa | grep gcc

This one should tell you which files were installed by the package:
# rpm -ql

This one looks for a file named 'gcc' on your machine:
# find / -type f -name gcc -print

What do these teach us ?

Cheers,
Wout

(no need to keep assigning points, by the way. But who am I to complain :-))

[monu_1]

Thanks Wout,

According to yr given command i got below

# rpm -qa | grep gcc
libgcc-3.3.2-1

# rpm -ql libgcc-3.3.2-1
/lib/libgcc_s-3.3.2-20031023.so.1
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/sbin/libgcc_post_upgrade

# find / -type f -name gcc -print
nothing print

Sorry for delay.I was not able go further coz of eve

Plz suggest what to do next!!!!

Regards,
MKS

[Wouter Jagers]

Looks like you still have only the libgcc -3.3.2-1 and not the gcc one..

Try getting the gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm mentioned above and install it like this:

# rpm -Uvh gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm

It should then tell you it's installed the rpm, and then the 'rpm -qa | grep gcc' should return both the libgcc and the gcc.

Try that.

Also, do you really need to compile mysql from scratch ? The binary distributions of mysql are quite good, I use one as well :-)

Cheers
Wout

[monu_1]

Hi Wout,
Thanks for quick reply.

But as per yr suggetion i have getting following dependencies error on installing rpm package

# rpm -Uvh gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm
warning: gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2

problem always wid me :(

[monu_1]

:-) i have solve the problem gcc but now another one problem standing in front to me

[Wouter Jagers]

From http://www.geektimes.com/linux/troubleshooting/c-cant-create-executables.html :

"I solved this by installing the kernel-headers and glibc-devel packages with the Red Hat Package Manager, RPM."

cheers

[monu_1]

Thanks Wout,

I have install both the packages.
#rpm -qa | grep glibc

[Wouter Jagers]

Hmmz.. too bad I don't have a similar system here at the moment, that would make things easier. (I might install one in a vmware if your issues persist)

Could you check the permissions on the directory ? Which user are you compiling as, and does he have writing rights in the directory ?

Cheers

[monu_1]

Hi wout!! Thanks for still wid me

Bregds,

[Wouter Jagers]

Do you have the binutils package installed ?

[monu_1]

Hi Wout,

Thanks u very very much :-)

As per yr suggetion I installed binutils package and then

and it run till the end and last line was

Hmmz..

I'd say try and compile again, after cleaning up:

# make distclean
# ./configure .....
# make
(errors gone ?)
# make install

You could also try and remove your whole building directory and unpack the source again (that's a sure way to 'start from scratch' as well).

G'luck !
