[kopete] c++ compiler error while installing kopete

Hey guys.. I'm very new to linux, so please bear with me.

I tried installing kopete but when I run ./configure I get this error:

configure: error: Your Installation isn't able to compile simple C++ programs.
Check config.log for details - if you're using a Linux distribution you might miss
a package named similiar to libstd++-dev.

I have gamma installed (a c++ compiler) but it doesn't seem to recognize that? what can I do to solve this problem? is there any other instalation file, besides kopete-0.8.0.tar.gz, that I can download to solve this problem?

thanks

That configure script might expect the compiler's filename to be "gcc". If that gamma compiler is compatible with gcc, you could try creating a symlink named gcc pointing to the gamma executable. Or you could modify the kopete makefile to use gamma instead.

You might as well just install gcc - you're probably going to have to install it sooner or later anyway - most linux software is designed to compile with it.

thanks!

where can I download gcc? I found it here:

ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/packages/by-name/gcc-3.3.2/i686-redhat-linux9/

but I was surprised by its size! is it that big?

That file does look a little big, even for gcc... hmm.

Try using RedHat's built in package management/download software first.
