Issue with Redis install “cc: Command not found”

Question

Installing redis is really easy. I have done it on several VM. But on one instance, I am facing the following problem.

[root@server redis-2.4.2]# make
cd src &am         


        

Answer 1

make[2]: cc: Command not found

This means that c compiler is uninstalled, or that it's not in $PATH.

Try which cc, this should tell the directory where cc is installed, if it is.

Otherwise, you can use your distro repository to install it.

In Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install build-essential.
