You didn't way whose install directions want gcc. If the system is up enough
to run rpm (and it should be if you can do 'which foo'), check to see if it's
installed first:
rpm -q -a | grep egcs
If the egcs isn't intuitive, it wasn't for me either.
I get:
egcs-1.1.2-12
egcs-c++-1.1.2-12
If you get nothing, mount your install CD (say on /mnt/cdrom) and
ls /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/egcs-*
and
rpm -i <whatever popped out of the ls>
This shows what gcc depends on having installed already. You might have to
install some stuff at the same time as gcc:
rpm -q -R egcs-1.1.2-12
binutils >= 2.9.1.0.21 (binutils-2.9.1.0.23-1.i386.rpm for me)
cpp = 1.1.2 (cpp-1.1.2-12.i386.rpm)
/sbin/install-info (You should have everything from here down)
/bin/sh
ld-linux.so.2
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
So, if you needed cpp as well, you'd do
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/egcs-1.1.2-12 /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/cpp-1.1.2-1
2.i386.rpm
I'm also running RH6.0, so there's a good chance that everything is identical
down to the version numbers for you.
