Good morning,

since last friday I'm trying to get distcc running within an Terminal 
Server enviroment (LTSP-4.1).
LTSP does not provide an compiler, and on its ML its said to use distcc. 
So I downloaded distcc to the Terminal Server (running SuSE 9.2), and 
compiled/installed it.
Right now I'm starting distccd via command line, using:
   /usr/local/bin/distccd --daemon --listen 192.168.10.1 --allow \
   192.168.10.0/24 --log-file /tmp/distccd.log --user nobody
ps ax tells me ther are 4 distccd processes ... ok so far.
I also wrote this line in /etc/exports:
   /usr/local/bin 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0 \
   (async,insecure,no_root_squash,rw)

As there's no compiler within the Thin Clients enviroment 
(/opt/ltsp/i386) I'm not sure what to do now ... I copied 
/usr/local/bin/* to /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/local/bin/, and created an hosts 
file there, with the content:
   192.168.10.1
   192.168.10.1:/usr/local/bin

But as soon as I start compiling (./configure) any program I get errors, 
like:
   checking for gcc ..... no
   checking for cc ...... no

Could somebody pelase tell me what to do exactly?
I realy think I did everything as mentioned on 
http://distcc.samba.org/index.html (30 secs instructions), and what the 
manpages are saying ... but it seems I missed or didn't get something ..

Thanks in advance!
Torsten
