welcome to webune support forums.

if you are a customer and you have a linux dedicated server and you are trying to install your FTP server such as PROftpd and you get this error:

./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
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.





what you will have to do is install a c compiler such as gcc so send this command:

SHELL COMMAND:
yum install gcc gcc-c++

NOTE: Webune provides Linux Dedicated Servers with RedHat, Fedora CentOS so these commands works on all RedHat Distributions. For other distributions the command might be different, for Debian distributions like Ubuntu you can use apt get or you can install yum in your distribution like FreeBSD or others.

thats it


this is what i got after i send the command:
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... no

See `config.log' for more details.
