I'm not finding gcc compiler in the pup package manager, I'm close to getting things they way I'd like them, but I must compile a few things to finish up. Where/How do I get a pup of the GNU C Compiler?
I need to be able to
./configure
./make
./make install
Thanks in advance.

You need to install the devx_420.sfs , make sure you do a md5sum check on the download.
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/sfs_modules-4/
If you have an install put the .sfs in /mt/home . You will then need to load the .sfs . You will get the option after a reboot.
Everything in puppylinux has to be compiled like this :
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
All the e17 stuff was compiled like this :
./configure --prefix=/usr
But i must warn you .Most of the backend of puppylinux is out of date and you can expect to need to update libs and other things as you go. Depending on what it is thats needs to be updated for your built you could break puppy .This will be fixed in puppy 4.3 that should be out in a few weeks. 2/3 weels after that we should have the next macpup out.

I prefer to build in puppy 412 and then make packages (.pets) and install them in 420. Thats how but opera and opera061 where built.

Ok what am I missing or doing wrong?! I downloaded the file "devx_420.sfs." I clicked on "Puppy Setup," then "Configure startup of Puppy," then at the "Puppy Boot Configuration," I clicked on "Choose which extra SFS Files to load at bootup." I get the error message, "Sorry, there are no SFS files in directory /mnt/home (or they all have the wrong '*_nnn.sfs' version number) You will need to download and place one there first." The directory /mnt/home is a symlink to the / directory where the file is located. Why wont it recognize the file?

You can add all the stuff to your system,Go to where you have the .sfs and click on it to mount it. Then copy all the files to where they go in your system. So if something is in the .sfs at /usr/lib copy all that stuff to /usr/lib on your system.
