I've been trying to install Gearman on my EC2 instance, but when I try to ./configure gearmand, I get this:

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/home/ec2-user/gearmand-1.1.3':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details

Now, the strange thing is that GCC is most definitely installed. 

which gcc46

returns

/usr/bin/gcc46

However, when I try to run the command "gcc", it's not found...

I've tried to erase/intall/reinstall gcc and gcc-c++ via yum, but that doesn't seem to be helping.

Any advice? Thanks in advance.

    And which Linux distribution are you using? – Michael Hampton Nov 10 '12 at 20:12
  • It's an Amazon Linux AMI instance. I believe it's CentOS? Not sue, though. – Ghostcode Nov 10 '12 at 20:14
  • "Amazon Linux" only uses yum and RPM. It is not CentOS nor based on it. I don't recommend using it. – Michael Hampton Nov 10 '12 at 20:20
  • Well, I'm only using it as a development sandbox. Any idea on how to fix the problem in the original post? – Ghostcode Nov 10 '12 at 20:21
  • There is a good chance that configure looks for `which gcc` (i.e. without a version number). In many cases (including Amazon Linux) gcc is symlinked to a versioned file. For instance one of my servers (Amazon Linux 2012.09) has `/usr/bin/gcc` --> `/etc/alternatives/gcc` --> `/usr/bin/gcc44`. The amzn repository has a package group called 'Development tools' which should provide everything needed to compile common software (although I dislike it on a production server). Check/create the symlinks (or try using `alternatives`) as some gcc versions don't set them automatically. – cyberx86 Nov 11 '12 at 01:31
  • Probably rather outdated, but Amazon Linux is fully compatible with EPEL (at least the recent versions are - they come with it setup (but not enabled) by default) and EPEL provides gearmand (v0.14) in its repository. – cyberx86 Nov 11 '12 at 02:20

You have to install dependencies listed in .travis.yml.
