Question about chkrootkit

[paleogryph]

Anyone ever install chkrootkit?

I'm trying to install chkrootkit on RH8, as per the README instructions:
" 5. Installation
---------------

To compile the C programs type:

# make sense

After that it is ready to use and you can simply type:

# ./chkrootkit"

when I try to run "make sense" I get:
"gcc -DHAVE_LASTLOG_H -o chklastlog chklastlog.c
make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [chklastlog] Error 127"

So it appears that the compile of the .c files is not working.

thanks

Make seems to be having trouble finding the compiler, gcc.

Check to see that gcc is installed on your system. If it is, ensure its is in your path.

Yeah you'll need a compiler to compile. ________________________________________

Ok, duh... I didn't have gcc.
Installed that and then compiled all the .c files that come with chkrootkit, now it runs great. You can even cp the whole dir onto a floppy and run it from that on other machines!
