Im new to setting up an eggbot and i was trying to run the config files with ./congfigure like the install instructions say and i get this.
[chris@linux eggdrop1.6.13]$ ./configure

This is Eggdrop's GNU configure script.
It's going to run a bunch of strange tests to hopefully
make your compile work without much twiddling.

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
Can anyone help me please im running redhat 8.0 with eggdrop 1.6.13

Install the gcc package, or check to make sure a compiler is in your path.

Redhat 8 installs by default, without any developer packages.

I am not sure yet, if there is a way to -re-run the nistaller, just to install these.

When installing 8, you have to make sure, the application/software development kit is in, and compiler. These have there own majpr catagory.
