Hello,

I'a newbie. I've downloaded a few programs from the net and as I try to install them (./configure) I get this message:

creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... missing
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... missing
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

or this:

creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... missing

checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install

I know it must sound like something very simple, but I've already tried everything I could... Can anyone help me? Do I need any extra libs? Where do I find them? Just give me a hint or something...

Thanks!

Well, I was able to find most of the libs I needed... I still get this line:

checking for working makeinfo... missing

but now I guess I'm in the right track... Does anyone know where I can find this makeinfo file???

Thanks anyways.

Makeinfo is a program that converts TeXinfo files into Info files. You can find the program in the package "texinfo" which should come with every distribution. Check your cd, or the net.
