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.

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

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.

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

Plz suggest how to configure gcc

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 ?

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

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!!!!

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 :-)
