Hello!

PS: Please see update imformation at the end of this question.

I have errors when try to install zeromq:

It's very strange for me that C compiler doesn't work. I decided to try install gcc using sage -i gcc, but I got the same error. What do I wrong? Help me please! Thanks.

P.S. I decided that it is the different bug of zeromq install so I created new question.

UPD:

 sage --sh
 gcc -v

In what could be the problem that c compiler don't work?

Is it possible you do not *have* a compiler? What do you get when you do `gcc --version` at the command line? This spkg was *just* updated, so hopefully it will work - it would be unfortunate if not.

Right, this is because the gcc is from the binary build - note the `build/sage/arando-1` business. So this is a leftover in your binary. It may even work on that machine, but it would have to be reconfigured. What happens when you don't do `sage -sh` and do `gcc -v`? Do you have gcc? Typically we don't assume that binaries can build code if you don't personally have a compiler on the machine. If you do, there are several ways you could deal with this - either rebuild the Sage gcc package (`sage -f gcc`) though that might end up rebuilding all of Sage, or perhaps (?) use some env var [here](http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html#section-envvar) to override using Sage's gcc. I hope I'm not misleading you.

kcrisman, thanks a lot. Unfortunatelly I don't know how to compile programms on Linux (my knowlendge isn't enogh to do it professionally). So I have to use sage notebook.... Maybe such mistackes is due to I use Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon?

Ah, then you probably don't actually have a compiler. Having Linux Mint 15 shouldn't be the problem, though see for instance [here](http://ask.sagemath.org/question/1536/error-installing-on-linux-mint-13). However, to install most other packages, you'll need this. See the [installation guide](http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html).
