What does this error message mean??

From

Date:
I am currently attempting to install postgresql under
redhat linux
I have removed the old version, I have unpacked the
rpm file of the new one.
I am now trying to run the configure program
I type the following...

./configure --host=i386-pc-linux   

And I get the following...
checking host system type... i386-pc-linux-gnu
checking echo setting...
checking setting template to... linux_i386
checking whether to support locale... disabled
checking whether to support cyrillic recode...
disabled 
checking whether to support multibyte... disabled
checking setting DEF_PGPORT... ./configure: 134946584:
No space left on device 5432
checking setting DEF_MAXBACKENDS... ./configure:
134946624: No space left on device 32                 
checking setting USE_TCL... disabled
checking setting USE_PERL... disabled
checking setting USE_ODBC... disabled
checking setting ASSERT CHECKING... disabled
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

What does the error in the last line mean?

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Chris

Well, it seems like you don`t have GCC installed on your system. Or
your PATH variable is wrong (though the first is more probable). Try
(re)installing GCC/EGCS

That there isn't a C compiler installed on your computer,
it's probably simplest to (re)install RedHat as a "Development Machine".

Or just install the binary RPMS for the server instead of
compiling from source. Of course, you'll probably need gcc
anyways if you're going to use the libpq interface for client
development.
