[Samba] RE: NEWBIE Samba installation issues

[Joseph Teo]

Hey again list,

I did what Gabriel suggested and it didnt' find a C compiler as most of 
you have said to me.    I'm using redhat 7.3 currently on my system and 
I would of thought that a C compiler would of been installed with it??? 
But since this isn't the case... I'll have to find a c compiler first 
before i can do anything else by the sounds of things.  Can anyone 
suggest where to look for one keeping in mind that I don't have a compiler?

yes i am logged in as root as well while running ./configure
