hi,
i forgive me for asking this but i just want to make sure something about installing compilers in my SME 5.6 server... it is said Question #7 of Faqs that,
"If you are still certain that you would like to have the ability to compile and make packages directly on your SME Server, you'll need to install the RedHat 7.1 rpms..."
------> my problem is that i dont have a redhat 7.1 cd but have a Redhat 8.0 cd... will there be compatibility problems with the kernel or something if ill install the said compilers (cpp, glibc-devel, glib-devel, make, libstdc++-devel, gcc, gcc-c++, and kernel-headers) from Redhat 8.0's cd and not from Redhat 7.1 ? coz i really need those compilers....

1.) do i need to download all the rpms in /dev-tools/SME56/
dir??? or just the following: cpp, glibc-devel, glib-devel, make, libstdc++-devel, gcc, gcc-c++, and kernel-headers ???
2.) im using SME5.6 but i cant find kernel-headers rpm in /dev-tools/SME56/ ... only in /dev-tools/SME55/ will i skip it or download it from /SME55/ folder ???
3.) what will i use for installing?
----> rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm
or
-----> rpm -ivh *.rpm

Unless you really know what you are doing, you should only install RPMs using "rpm -Uhv *.rpm".
You should also avoid trying to build any RPMs (go to rpmfind.net and search there), and if you do build RPMs, do it on a RedHat workstation and not on your server. Your server is more secure if it doesn't have a compiler and libraries.

actually what i really what to do is to put BitchX and psybnc in my SME 5.6 server... that is why i was so eager to know how to put the compilers coz only BitchX and psybnc where the only ones that were not installed among the programs the i needed the most. so please, please, please, help me.
this is the error that comes out when ill try to do a: make menuconfig after i unpacked the psybnc:
bash-2.05a$ make menuconfig

go to http://rpmfind.net and search for bitchx
find the best one for your version of SME (closest Red Hat or i386 version)
download the rpm (not the src.rpm) and go for it
repeat for psybnc
