Hi, i am very newbies with Linux, i need help.  At the moment i'm trying 
to install xine player, but when i try to compile the following error 
occurs:
[root@localhost xine-lib-1-rc2]# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Well, in order to *compile* a program you need a *compiler* of course. 
GCC is a compiler (a compiler collection, actually). So, yes you
may use GCC to compile xine.

Have a look on your Linux CDs. Any good Vendor usually should ship
GCC with its distribution.

What kind of distribution are you using? Look at your vendor's site
whether it provides a download facility.

If your system is RPM based, have a look at http://rpmfind.net and
search for a GCC package according to your distribution/system.

If your system is a based on Debian or you have the apt-get program 
installed. Just do 'apt-get install gcc-3.3' for example.

Have a look in your distro's manual on how to install
packages/software and how to update your system. Btw, there may be as
well a binary package for xine somewhere on your CDs or apt-get'able.

Also, http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html lists links to
pre-compiled versions of GCC.
