installing gcc.3.3.4

installing gcc.3.3.4

[Edward Parrilla]

Hi All,
I was trying to install gcc-3.3.4 but when i ran the configure part I
got the following message:

$ configure --prefix=/
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
./configure: line 2332: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

Any idea what the problem could be?
Why should I set the config with a compiler when I am installing a
compile?
Thanks
Ed

You don't have a C-compiler in your path.

Because you downloaded the source. 

If you don't have an other C-Compiler you should get the gcc binarys and 
install them.
