I think that things like gcc, make and Cmake should be already installed, but when I run the cmake command I get an error saying that no cmake has been found. When I try to install Cmake using ./configure the system says that no C compiler has been found. To install gcc I think I also need make and when I run ./configure I get  the following message:

According to multiple search engine hits, SL spells the install option 
"Development Tools."  Presumably you have a package install menu where 
you can add this or gcc.  If you go by someone's hazy verbal 
recollection, you have to make allowances for fuzzy matches.
