Binary distribution needing 'cc'

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi all, can you help me with a small problem.  I've downloaded a binary archive for AIX on an RS6000 because we don't have cc (can you believe it, the bloody c compiler is a chargeable extra!).

however, when I try to run a 'make install' all it did was complain that it couldn't find 'cc' and then stopped.

What am I doing wrong (apart from using aix instead of Linux)?
