kopete error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

I just installed XandrOS 2.0 deluxe, and it came with kopete, but a lower version than is out. I want to install the 0.8rc1 so i extracted the files, then ran the configure file, it gives me this:
[code:1]checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for -p flag to install... yes
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Press <ENTER> to continue...
[/code:1]
I press enter, and the console closes. :( any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks :)

You have no C compiler in your path. The recommended c compiler is gcc, which is included with Xandros, but apparently you did not select it at installation. Try popping in Xandros2 disc1 and sifting through the packages contained on the disc, there should be a binary of gcc in there somewehere that you can install to rectify this problem.

Fixed that one, now i'm on
[code:1]configure&#58; error&#58; We need a working libXext to proceed. Since configure
can't find it itself, we stop here assuming that make wouldn't find
them either.
[/code:1] lol, it's just not cutting me any breaks :( i tried to find it myself with google, and found something on installing xlibs-dev package, yet the site doesn't have the download for it :(.

Hi,

Quoted


ok well i have the gcc compiler on, but now when i run ./config i get this error:

Code:


checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

You probably need devel package of xfree (xfree*devel*.rpm), try installing it.

edit:
oops, you find an answer to previous question while I was writing this :)

well thanks :) i did that, and now i'm at this error..
[code:1]checking for extra includes... no
checking for extra libs... no
checking for libz... configure&#58; error&#58; not found.
Possibly configure picks up an outdated version
installed by XFree86. Remove it from your system.

Check your installation and look into config.log[/code:1]
This is getting to be more trouble than it's worth :(

Try installing libz and libz-devel. Don't get blues even thought things doesn't seem to work first time, next time you want to install something from the sources it is much easier. :)
And btw. leave kopete sources around, there has been problems with 0.8rc1 so you might need them to do uninstall.
I installed 0.8rc1 but I couldn't connect to irc so I uninstalled it and installed 0.7.5 back.

thanks, but i'm not sure where i can find libz and libz-dev to download. i go here http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/zlib1g-dev because they say that package has libz-dev in it, but i dont know which version to download. i am on i686 and the clostest thing to that i see is i386. I tried installing that using xandros networks(the only way i know how) and it didn't work :(

i386 is the architecture that most binaries are compiled for since they work on 386 and up, which is fine for a 686, go ahead and install those.
