Problems setting up Transmission

First if this is in the wrong section i am sorry… i am a n00b here….

Following the guide via http://www.mybook-linux.co.nr/transmission.html

I got to the first section though came across a problem… :(

# cd /tmp/myfiles/
# wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libxml2/2.6/libxml2-2.6.27.tar.gz
# tar xfz libxml2-2.6.27.tar.gz
# cd libxml2-2.6.27
# ./configure
# make
# make install

This is how it should of worked though i got the following error on line 5 ("./configure"):

[root@MyBookWorld libxml2-2.6.27]# ./configure
checking build system type... armv5tejl-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... armv5tejl-unknown-linux-gnu
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 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.

Anyone know what i have done wrong?

You're missing gcc. Click on Firmware 2.00.15 on the left to see solution.

Seeing you cannot compile transmission- you should look into using the Optware feeds to install it.
Other than a week of broken builds recently it is pain less to set up and it will automagically solve all you dependancy problems.

thanks but it seems that i don't have gcc installed so this is the reason why i cannot compile this… i alreays have optware installed….

I don't think you need to compile with optware. I could be wrong. You do know how to install packages with optware?

I would like to say yes… but i guess this is a no..

Well i installed optware and just after i installed it i did install an application though when i login back to the root i am finding it hard to get to the correct directory to where i can install anything..

I think i login to the root then go to /opt/bin/

From here i think i have to install this though i could be wrong….

Thanks again for all your help….

To install a program run the following command:

/opt/bin/ipkg install program_name

You may want to include /opt/bin:/opt/sbin in your path.
