help new to linux compileing

[Andrew80k]

I use Fedora and it works beautifully. But I also use Core 8, not 9. My guess is that Derision is correct and your gcc is breaking the compile. Either that or you don't have the development stuff installed. My guess is the former though. You could always remove the gcc packages and install the older stuff from 8. I'd tell you how to do that, but I leave that as an exercise for the student...
