I'm a complete and total Linux newb, but I have Redhat 8.0 installed on this computer. I wanted to install GAIM, but when I downloaded it, it said I didn't have a valid C compiler installed. So...I downloaded GCC...I extracted GCC into a directory in my home directory, but I have no idea where to go from there. I tried finding it in the help files, but they assume that you at least sort of know what you're doing...Could someone please tell me exactly what I have to do, in as much detail as possible?
