hey all,

I just installed the compiler, and i thought it installed ok but i am having
a problem.

I'm now trying to install Python, and when i go to run the configuration
script, i get the error:

C++ compiler cannot create executables

I'm running this as root. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to where to
look for the causes of this problem? I installed the compiler as root as
well.

a friend of mine thinks i dont have all the packages i need. When i
installed linux i didnt select the development tools. So, does anyone know
all the packages I would need? these are the RPM's i downloaded and
installed:

binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm cpp-2.96-98.i386.rpm gcc-2.96-98.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.4-13.i386.rpm kernel-headers-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm
links-0.96-2.i386.rpm

Ian

P.S. if replying via email, replace NOSPAM with pacificnet
