Home / blog / What am I doing

I am still getting my server worked out and I just have been so lazy with other projects I have or want to do.
Sara is gone this week and I wanted to get so much computer stuff done like set up a proxy server with squid. Get the Flash communication server up and running and get some apps together for it to run on the server.
It is getting so complicated, for one I hadn’t worked on a Linux box before other then through a GUI and now I have to learn all those nasty commands in SSH. I am getting the hang of it a little and I did install FCS once I just need to do it again. And I tried to install squid today but I am getting a cc error which is weird since I already have gcc. Boring you yet? well I am. I don’t even know what a cc is, I think it is some kind of compiler or installer for Unix; I don’t know.
But I will be at work with this for awhile since Jared won’t help, :-((.

Hey! "cc" is the c language compiler. You can possibly map it to gcc by setting the "CC" environment variable to point to your gcc binary. gcc can compile both c and c++. For example:

$export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc

I hope that helps! :-)

Yeah.
I can't get the configure script to run because I get the error:
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $path

It might be informative that before the error I recieve this:
checking for gcc .... no
checking for cc ... no

Which makes me think something is wrong and the script not being able to find the gcc. I am looking into it now.

after looking in my local/bin directory it doesnt show the gcc directory. Is Hilary right? should it be there? Is gcc easy enough to install? I contacted 1and1.

$ ls /usr/bin | grep gcc
It's not the easiest thing to install. 1 and 1 should have it installed and available for your use uneless they are really anal.

there isn't a directory in usr/bin named gcc or cc and the list is so long when you cd to that directory and then dir -list. I cannot either find it nor can change to it. And the code didn't work.

Thanks a ton Nate. is there a command to check if it is installed? it may be the squid config file just not being able to see it.

Yes! There were already answers to this question before I even saw the post!

What distro is this again? (I know you mentioned FCS above, but I don't remember if that was on your side, or on the host server too) Depending on the distro, they may have binary packages available (rpm, etc) that don't require you to recompile the source at all; just a thought - I'm sure you already looked for this.

I still recommend trying a binary distribution, such as the RPMs at ftp://ftp.squid-cache.org/pub/contrib/RPM-v1.1/

No use in recompiling it unless you need to. I'm assuming that since Fedora descends from RedHat that it handles RPMs OK, although I could be wrong.

Okay I have the rpm. Which one do I need the src or the i386, I am guessing the i386.

After I upload it to the usr/local/ how do I run it? Or do I need to put it somewhere else?

You probably only need the i386 one, unless you need to recompile in the future. Once you've got the .rpm on your system, you just do something like:

rpm -i whatever.rpm

Although you may want to check the documentation for the rpm command (man rpm), since I don't use that very much.

Okay I installed it with
rpm -Uhvf
Thanks guy from nasa (shown in the ip address), I guess really smart people like you guys really want to help newbie dumbasses like me.

So I installed it and it is in a couple directories in the system but where is the configure script? since I used the rpm I cannot find it.

this link if you care to find out more. I bet OS X has a utility like rpm. It's probably better and easier to use, but rpm is the tool that Red Hat (rpm stands for Red Hat Package Manager I believe) and Fedora uses and I like it.

Just to get you started try:
$ rpm -qi squid
which should tell you a bunch about what you just installed. While your at it see that gcc is not installed:
rpm -qi gcc
but it's not hard to install the rpm if you really need it.

Yes, the secret is finally out - Nate is a rocket scientist. I love those JPL jokes...
