Topic: no CC?

[Cliff]

I downloaded and tried to install vpopmail and I when I get to
step #4 in the installation, "./configure" I get the following result:

loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... no
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... missing
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... missing
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking host system type... i586-unknown-linux
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

What does this mean?  What do I have to do to continue?

Thanks,
-Cliff

That means that the server doesn't have a C compiler. The e-smith server is not a general purpose Linux operating system -
it's a lean, mean workgroup server and internet gateway.

To develop modules or software for the server, you will need to have another system to use as a development system. Any computer running RedHat 6.0 or similar should do.

...or, you could just install the appropriate packages from RedHat 6.  If memory serves, you'd need the following:

cpp
egcs
egcs-c++
make
kernel-headers
glib-devel
glibc-devel
