	Problem installing on Cygwin, no C compiler by Peter Vanderhaden :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Can anyone help me? I tried installing Ruby on Cygwin with the following commands: # Ruby : tar xvf ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz cd ruby-1.8.6 ./configure make make install The ./configure command produced the following error message: $ ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-cygwin checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin checking target system type... i686-pc-cygwin checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl.exe... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. Does a C compile come with Cygwin? If not, where can I get one so I can complete the installation? Thanks.... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Yes. But it isn't installed by default unless you check "Devel" category as "Install". -- Nobu Nakada

I always install the whole thing, so I don't know where to find gcc. But what you do is start Setup.exe from the Cygwin web site. After answering a few questions, you will get an application package tree where you can select the packages you want. There's a "development" section, where you can choose "gcc". By the way, Ruby is part of the Cygwin distribution, and you can install it in binary or source form directly out of the same tree. However, if you want a newer version than the one in Cygwin, you'll need gcc. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG2Ncz8fKMegVjSM8RAnBEAKDJVLpqxVdgHUf8GvCYUeg10t1XIgCghcZI nOfdtv6F+Ob5lVh7lZJBI4A= =upnR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
