NO C compiler after clean install + how add a script to startup

mariogarcia · 06-10-2006, 04:50 AM

hello
I have installed a clean minimal version of stable rc2. i just need it to develop a small work in c; but cc it's not a recognized command, and after I do an apt-get install of gcc it says that stdio.h has not been found.
i was jsut wondering ... doesnt debian has a built-in c compiler? i need just to use message queues and other ipc programming methods. with files creation and such.
what should I use or check to have c in the install.
on the other side; i have a stable machine running with an old version of debian. i h ave apache, i want it to run it a startup of runlevel 3 and the script to launch it it's apachectl and it's on /usr/local/apache2/bin/
do i have to move it to /etc/init.d/ or there's a tool similar to dhkconfig in debian to add the daemon i also have mysql by the way which need to have the same treatement.
if you can reply me these questions. I 'll be so grateful it will let me at last begin my work.
thank you very much to you all.

The gcc package is a meta-package, it's empty... Try

Code:

apt-get install gcc-3.3

You might want to install the newer gcc-3.4, just change the versionnumber in the previous command. Accept dependencies when apt complains about those.

You can add a sym-link to /etc/init.d from where you're apache script is located. Use like

Code:

ln-s <target> <source>

Make sure the script is executable with the chmod +x command.

how do I do to add it so that when the computer starts the deamon it's started as well?

The exact command is up to you to figure out and to be honest: if you can't figure out what that is you shouldn't run a webserver... At least not a public one, 'cause that will be taken over rather quickly by malicious hackers to be part of their 'empire of zombies', attacking other websites or spreading viruses. Mind you, you're still responsible for the behavior of your server, even though you're no longer in control...

I just started using gnu/linux a month ago.
i mainly want to use apache to test php scripts and i do not want to use easyphp, in fact i rather do nothing that using easy php.
it's just this loading at startup methods on debian that causes me some troubles.
thank you for your input; i will consider it.
