I am working on a hostgator linux server through SSH trying to install and use node.js. I followed the instructions on github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation, specifically this section.
tar -zxf node-v0.6.18.tar.gz #Download this from nodejs.org
cd node-v0.6.18
./configure
make
sudo make install
When I type ./configure I get this error.
Node.js configure error: No acceptable C compiler found!
Please Make sure you have a C compiler installed on your system and/or consider adjusting the CC environment variable if you installed it in a non-standard prefix.
