Ok, I downloaded Apache and started on the reading to set it up. I took the first step of trying to compile it and got told that I don't have a compiler. So, I got and download the gcc that is recomended so that I can compile Apache and install it. Unfortunately though I don't have GNU make. So I can't assemble the compiler, so I can't compile apache, so I can't install apache.

Only thing I could find so far was a page telling me something about FTP'ing and nothing about make. I can't FTP anyway because I can't install an FTP client because I don't have make and gcc. :( :confused:

Help anyone?

What is wrong with the pre-compiled Apache?
Can you not FTP using your browser?

I didn't bother looking for a precompiled one because I figured I'd best get used to having to compile stuff to install anyway. Thats's half the fun of having Linux anyway right?
