./configure command

[Joao Paulo Pires]

Hi Cameron,
Thanks for your answer. 
I'm a end user for FC4. The real problem I have is each time I want try some program from CDs ou DVDs from magazines, they advise to install with "./configure" and "make install". Is there any other possibility?
TIA, Joao.

Try "yum install gcc" as root, if you have a decent net connection. 
It will tell you how much (and what) it wants to download and install. 
You will probably also need various -devel packages.
