All,

I'm having difficulty with installing the nginx webserver on my Slackware Linode. The Slackware image for the Linode seems to be stripped down to the bare essentials. I have installed several additional base slackware packages but am still unable to compile the nginx slackbuild. The error is as follows. Thank you.

nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/clang
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/acc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/bcc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/ccc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/conf
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/gcc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/icc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/msvc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/name
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/owc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/sunc

./configure: error: C compiler cc is not found

I'm not certain I have every dependency installed, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate the help. Thank you.

Have you...installed the gcc packages?

You're right, the Slackware image is very bare-bones. Among other things, it's missing compilers.
