Re: [linrad] linrad installation problem

[Chris Albertson <chrisalbertson90278@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Which Linux distribution are you trying to make work?
If it's RedHat you need to select "development tools" to
have the gcc compiler installed.   

In any case you want a __binary__ image of gcc.  If you
go and get the source code for gcc you will have to compile
it.  For that you'd need a compiler and quite a few other tools
A kind of circular
logic, chicken and egg type thing.  You want a compiler
that is already compiled to get the process started.

Or simply select al the software you need when you do the
basic install from CD.
