Configure errors. Will not install -Linux Newbie

[bsworkman]

I'm a newbie to Linux and I'm trying to install NWNX with no plugins.
I plan to use the ATS system - Do I need the plugins?

I have already installed NWServer app as well as MySQL server ver 5.0.22 and LibMyODBC the ODBC Driver. I am using Ubuntu 6.06 Linux verision.
The MySql and ODBC Driver were installed using the Ubuntu installer as recommended by the MySql site.

I extracted the linnwnx2 to a folder
typed in ./configure

This is what I got

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

If I try to run Make or Makefile or anything like that it can't find the file.
(this might be from a previous version that I read this)

The version of Linnwnx2 i am trying to install is the latest from this site as of 9-19-06.

There is no folder named mysql in the /usr/lib folder
I'm not sure how to find out where it installed, I know if I type mysql it does connect me to the server. Any thoughts??

The NWServer files and folders are in /usr/local/share/nwn


Please help.

Thanks,

-Brian.

Do you have GCC installed? That's your C compiler....

The Make file can't find the compiler, consequently it cannot build the server executable. Its highly possible that if you didn't do a full install your Linux distro doesn't have the compilers installed.

That's about as much help as I can be :p

I didn't know it needed to be.
I'll install it.

Thanks!

[bsworkman]

well, I got farther this time. I installed GCC and its components.

now I get this

checking for GCC... GCC
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables.

I think I'm missing a part of GCC.

I installed Version 4.0 of GCC.

[bsworkman]

OK, I have now compiled after installing build-essential package.

Now I try to do run the make command and here is what I get.
I think this has something to do with not finding SQL which I'm not sure why.


Here is what is happening

Any Ideas.

When you installed MySQL did you install the Dev libraries also? I think it needs them to compile the connections.

Like I said, I "use" linux for web and database servers and such, but I've never done any developing on them. If a Tarball doesn't work, I'm lost Hopefully one of our more knowledgeable members will chime in....

[bsworkman]

Success!!!

The Server Dev pack was key. Thanks so much!
