Compilers will almost always tell you what the problem is.  You just
have to understand what it's telling you.  In this case, it's telling
you that you don't have a compiler installed.

It looks like you probably are working on an install of RedHat that
didn't include the development tools.  In order to install them, you're
going to have to install a bunch of other things as well.  The easiest
way for someone new to RedHat to do this is to the install CD and add
the development stuff.  When you check gcc and cc, the software will
select all the other packages that are needed to solve the various
dependencies and install them as well.

Once that's done, you'll be able to compile and install snort.

Nick, I'm in Dallas too, so if you get really stuck, email me and we can
talk on the phone.
