I apologize in advance if these seem like silly questions, but I'm a bit of
a newbie, at least when working with Linux at this level.
I've just installed RedHat ES3 with a close-to-default software package
configuration. I just select BASE components for X Windows, GNOME Desktop,
Graphical Internet, Games, Server Configuration Tools, DNS Name Server,
Administration Tools & Printing Support. I didn't select any optional
components for these packages.
I then removed sendmail, redhat-config-samba & samba using RPM. I then ran
Up2Date and updated everything except mdadm, perl, samba, smaba-common and
open-office.org-libs and restarted.
Perl 5.8.0.88-4 is currently installed. Now, I want to manually install the
latest version of Perl. When I run "sh Configure -de" it aborts with an
error that it can't find the C compiler. It's looking for "cc".
I thought that maybe I needed to install the base Software Development
package, so I tried System Settings => Add/Remove Applications. When I try
that, it fails with an unlocatable package krb5-libs which is required by
krb5-workstation.
Here are my questions:
1) Shouldn't the base install that I did include a working C compiler?
2) If so, what is it called (ie: cc) and where does it reside?
3) How do I recover from here to get the C compiler installed so that I can
update Perl?
4) Should I uninstall Perl before installing the new version (I'll bet there
are too many dependencies for that to be practical)? If so, how?
Thanks for your suggestions!
