Hi peter3,
In order to use the PGI compilers you need the GCC development packages installed (for some header files and run time libraries). The error your seeing means that the installer was not able to find components from these packages. Unfortunately, several of the newer Linux flavors, especially the desktop versions, don’t install development packages by default.
To fix, please install the gcc development packages. For example of Fedora, I believe the command is “yum install gcc”. Your OS may be different.
If you believe that you do have the gcc development packages properly installed, but the installer is still not able to find them, your OS may be too new and have changed some of the default locations. (For example see this post about Mandriva Power Pack 2010). In this case, please contact PGI Customer Service (trs@pgroup.com).
