how to instal without gcc or rpm???

[remyvrs]

i use ipcop as a router for my home mini-network but i would like to instal some other things on it.
the fact is that it does not have gcc included or rpm so i really don't know how to install anything on it.

i think i can manage my way if someone helps me to instal one of the 2 mentioned above...
Thanks in advance!!!

Good luck, it's complicated to start from scratch.

gosh, I'd think it's easier to install YUM, APT, or RPM from a pre-compiled binary than to install the gcc bits first... BUT, LawnBuy may very well be right... Does an IPCop support forum have something on the topic?

Sure, binaries would be easier if you can find them for whatever kernel version ipcop uses. I'm thinking dependencies could eat you alive since you don't know what modules the kernel has...

Unless ipcop uses a standard release kernel, I don't think it does.

i forgot to mention that i am a newbie in linux.
but i think i have understood what you have said...

someone proposed to me copiing his rpm directory and simply run it so that i could install a gcc*.rpm package that i downloaded.

i have done a lot of googling but still i have found no solution
