SUSE Linux 10 apache installation

ammonkc

I just installed SUSE Linux 10 on my dell laptop. I'm trying to install Apache, PHP, MySQL on it to use as a dev server / test server. I'm having trouble install apache. I'm pretty new to linux. but I use osx unix. I'm having trouble installing apache (httpd2.2) from source.
all tutorials/instructions say to :
> make clean
> ./configure
> make && make install

but this keeps failing. i'm following all of the steps, which seem to be very simple, but it says that there is no 'make' file. and when I try to install from binary, it gives me an error saying that it can't find any C compilers. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm new too linux, but I'm trying to configure and set up this linux server for the sole pupose of learning how to administer a linux web server.

What is the error message

Maybe you didn't install some package or missing some library

ammonkc

when I run :
> ./configure

it goes through checking stuff. then I get this error:

checking for gcc ... no
checking for cc ... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compliler found in $PATH
See 'conig.log' for more details
configure failed for srclib/apr

the apache version that I'm trying to install from source is actually called httpd-2.2.0. is there any reason why apache is being called httpd now? when apache 1.33 was still labeled as apache.

Seems that it's time to install a C compiler! Start your package manager and look for packages like gcc and make and install them! You will need them in the future, believe me!

You should install GCC and a BIIIG bunch of libraries. Do it from YaST-->Software Managment and search for gcc and you should find the compiler and related libraries, also install kde-devel and gtk-devel glib-devel glibc-devel and so on.

If you are new to linux why don't you install from binaries?
