Post the output of the following:

What base OS is your xen server? You will need to install some form of C compiler. I take it that previously you were using an rpm packaged? You can probably do a "yum install gcc" or if it is debian based "apt-get install gcc". Then try to run configure again.

[root@XenHost8 nrpe-2.14]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs6.0.2.542.170665xen (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704

I am running Red hat 4.1 and it appears as if GCC is already installed

Lets check it's location:

[root@XenHost8 nrpe-2.14]# find / -name gcc
[root@XenHost8 nrpe-2.14]#


returned a blank line

It would seem that it is not installed, and instead the gcc output above from cat /proc/version is just listing what your kernel was compiled with. So let's try a "yum install gcc" the ./configure once it is installed with all the needed dependencies. If it errors again, send back the output and we can see how far it has gotten.

yet another roadblock

Before I give instructions on making and compiling gcc as well, it looks like yum may not have been the main package manager for RHEL 4. Try "up2date gcc"

[root@XenHost8 opt]# up2date gcc
bash: up2date: command not found
[root@XenHost8 opt]# yum install up2date gcc
