Before You Install on a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 Host

The gcc program is not installed on a SLES 8 host by default. This compiler is required by the VmPerl API.

Before you install GSX Server on a SLES 8 host system, you must install gcc.

Installing gcc in the Host Operating System

1. Start your X server, if it does not start by default, and log in as the root user.

2. Run YAST2, the default configuration utility for SLES 8.

3. Click Software in the left pane, click Install or remove software in the right pane.

4. Check C++ Compiler and Tools in the left pane, then click Accept.

5. When prompted, insert the SLES 8 CD.

6. Click Close to exit YAST2. The gcc program is installed. Now install GSX Server.
