Hi Angela. I will try to answer your question here, but if you have
further questions, perhaps we should take up private e-mail discussions.
You may have sent me a personal note a while back to which I didn't
respond. My apologies for this.
The message you are getting indicates that the program "gcc" is not in your
command path. This is either because the program is not installed on your
system, or it is because it is in a directory into which you are not
looking. You probably have a couple of choices on this matter.
1. You could mail root on your system and ask where gcc is installed, or
even if it is installed.
2. You might try typing: "cc"
at your prompt and hitting return. If you get a message like: "no input
files specified", then edit your Makefile to use cc rather than gcc. You
should see a line of the form:
CC=gcc
Change everything after the "=" sign to be just "cc".
3. If you mail me and tell me what kind of system you are on, I might be
able to build binaries for you which you can just run.
Hope this helps.
