You dont have all dependencies installed, and no compilers as I see it... Use a package manager please.

How do i get thant and install ?

[mehulved]

You need to install GCC and make. How are you gonna compile something without a compiler?
Or install IP Messenger rpm if one can be found. That will be better.
But, if you still want to compile use yum and install gcc, make and all their dependancies.

run `system-config-packages` as root and select programming ....tools

I dont know how do u do that ? do u have any idea about it ???
i tryed running this tools from root login it gave me this error :-

[root@www ~]# system-config-packages
Unable to import gtk module. This may be due to running without
$DISPLAY set. Exception was:
could not open display
[root@www ~]#

Hold on. Which distro r u using. OK...I c u r using RHEL. The point is that u need to install a program called GCC (I don't know why this Linux doesn't install this thing by default. Only causes pain & suffering to the newbees).

I haven't used RHEL, but I am guessing that it will be very similar to fedora core. Heres what u do-

1. Click on the Kmenu (the thing like start menu)
2. Point to system & click on add/remove programs & enter the root password when prompted
3. In the program that opens u have to find & install GCC . As far as I can remember, it is found in the development category. I recommend u install everything in that section.

This should work

Ahh u must have selected desktop installation of RHEL. Thats u must not be having gcc. I dunno if yum exists for RHEL.
Check if this thing works from root : "yum -y install gcc g++" !
