Why does configure say no C compiler found when GCC is installed?
I am trying to make Sphinx from source on a 32-bit CentOS 6 VPS.
When I run this command:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sphinx
I get this error output:
checking build environment
--------------------------
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for compiler programs
------------------------------
checking whether to compile debug version... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/home/gnotes/sphinx':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
What I don't understand is that GCC is installed so why can't configure find an acceptable C compiler?
Here's the output of yum:
sudo yum install gcc
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Setting up Install Process
Package gcc-4.4.7-3.el6.i686 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
What gives?
Answer
try yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
if the installation is success then you will have a full set of development tools. Such as gcc, g++, make, ld ect. After that you can try the compilation of Code Blocks again.
Since yum is deprecated you can use dnf instead:
dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
