I have 7.10 installed on a laptop that has no network/internet connection available. so what i have is 7.10 with no resent patches or updates. i'm attempting to do my first source compile and it just happens to be GIMP. i downloaded 2.4.3 from the gimp.org website on my work computer and thumbdrived it over to my laptop. i followed the directions for compiling from here http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html and i was doing ok until i got to the part of configuring. i got and error message that read:
so i figured that maybe the source had something wrong with it. it was just released and it's possible that something could have been wrong. so i downloaded 2.4.2 and got to the same step and received the same error message.
so now i'm stumped. i have no idea if i'm missing something or not. the only idea i could come up with was that i'm missing a C compiler. if i'm wrong it's because i just don't know. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
