Xine error

[Ode Pero]

Hi, i am very newbies with Linux, i need help.  At the moment i'm trying 
to install xine player, but when i try to compile the following error 
occurs:
[root@localhost xine-lib-1-rc2]# ./configure

See `config.log' for more details.

someone told me that i have to download gcc, is that right? where and

thanks in advance.
