Install Problems - devtools/unix utilities, etc

Hi all!

I'm having lots of problems with installs to a remote xServe running OSX Server 10.2.8. This is a box that I have inherited. It all started with lots of problems with mysql missing file/not working at all. So I decided to reinstall remotely and since no db's have been set up before, I didn't think there was any problem doing this.

First problem - no install utilities. make would not work. So I found a resource that showed how to remotely install devtools(downloaded from Apple)

AFP548 - Installing Much Needed Developer Tools Remotely

But it errors out with the following:

============================================

##
installer: Finishing Installation
####
installer: Running Installer Script
##
installer: Running Installer Script
##2005-05-26 13:30:49.051 installer[26216] Exception raised during posting of notification. Ignored. exception: The postflight script in DevSDK failed. (code 1)

installer: There were errors installing the software.....
installer: The upgrade failed (Running Installer Script).

============================================

So since it failed, I decided to install bare bones for the mysql install

gunzip, make

Tried to configure "make" but get this one:

============================================

checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

============================================

ok, so I go for "gcc". I get this one:

============================================

Created "Makefile" in /temp/gccjim
../gcc/gcc-3.3.2/configure: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

============================================

So I check my compliler with "which cc" and get:

============================================

no cc in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin

============================================

So I'm trying to configure a compiler that needs a compiler but I have no compiler!

:eek:

And I still have no mysql!

I know I'm doing tons wrong. Any help would be deeply appreciated!!

Jim
