You just need to do 'yum install gcc gcc-c++ binutils glibc-devel'. You might also need to do a 'yum install make autoconf automake libtool' as well, depending on what Plugger uses as it build system (and what else you don't have installed). You might also need various ???-devel packages as well. > > I tried a google.com/linux search - the only link that seemed helpful > was http://gcc.gnu.org/ -- where I found only this: > "The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the > shared components."

Perhaps 1 of those packages is the core? > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
