All modern Linux distributions have RPM support.
On the command line, type: rpm and hit return. If you don't get an error stating that the command is wrong or bad, this means that RPM works fine for you.
Next, you'll have to be logged as root to install the packages you want (PHP and/or GCC). Most of them usually ship in the Linux distribution CD but you can also find packages on RPM sites such as http://www.rpmfind.net .

Several points - firstly, you should already have a C compiler installed unless you specifically told the installer not to install any developer packages. GCC is pretty standard on all distributions and I'd be very suprised if it was installed by default.
2nd - unfortunately you've made it harder on yourself by installing Mandrake. Before you can access the additional downloads on the Mandrake site you are required to join the users club. You would be able to find a Mandrake specific RPM for PHP there. However, again, PHP is now pretty standard and I would be suprised to find it wasn't available on the CDs you downloaded.
3rd - The same as some programs in Windows depend on .dll files, you will find files in Linux also have dependencies - as you have found out in your screenshot. You need these available before PHP will work, regardless of if you compile PHP from source or grab an RPM for it. Once again, I would be suprised if this wasn't available somewhere on your CD.
I would suggest starting over again with either Debian or Red Hat as you will find the distribution system easier to use as a beginner. |

Once again, without the dependencies it *will not run* regardless of if someone gives you a precompiled copy, you download an RPM or you compile it yourself. The CC error sounds like you chose not to install any development tools when you ran through Mandrake installer? Did you change any options or just do a default install?
You should be able to install all the dependencies via RPM, then PHP. |

I gave up on Linux due to some jerks ripping me off at a local computer
store , they installed Linux with the most small amount of programs and
they knew that I needed a compiler , these people are going down :)
Here's the link to the Rip off Computer store

I reported them to the Better Business Bureau hoping I get a refund :( |
