hi i have just shifted from shared hosting to an unmanaged vps server.

I want to install apache but then i came to know it requires make command which comes after installing gcc. So I have downloaded the tar.gz file and extracted it. But not able to figure out how to install the gccand make it working so that i can install apache

/tmp/XXXXyX9NP8/gcc-4.3.1 is the extracted path to the package

Code: Select all

debian:/tmp/XXXXyX9NP8/gcc-4.3.1# configure
-bash: configure: command not found
have tried

Code: Select all

aptitude install gcc
