Hi
After I unzip a tar file and it forms it's own directory, I go into
that dir and attempt to configure it with "./configure"  However the
files always look for cc and gcc which are not there.  How can I
install these files considering every tar file needs them?  Is there
any other way to configure the tar file?  My understanding is that
after unzipping a tar file you need to configure the program
with ./configure, then "make", then "make install".  Did I miss
something?  I am running RH6.0
Thanks,
John
