And once you do that, you might find a lot more missing. If you run (as real root, iu.e. "su -") the command system-config-packages (there is an icon too that can launch it) scroll down in the list and install the "development tools". As said, there might be one or two more. I've never liked that part of redhat. Mandrake has a fabulous tool to install new programs. You type in "gcc" and it comes up with a list of all the rpm's that relate to that (the drawback of this is that you need to know what is relevant). Perhaps with the new interface of package management fc3 has this kind of interface too, i'd love to hear somebody tell me wrong here. peter
