Installation help needed

OK, I am very new to Quanta, KDE and linux, so will do my best here.

 

ASUS, eeepc

Pre-installed with xandros

I enabled Advanced Desktop Mode per http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:getkde

I installed XAMPP per http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html

Thus far everything seems to be working

 

Now I decide I want to see if I can do some website development work.
Googled around and thought I would try Quanta Plus

Got the download kdewebdev-3.5.9.tar.bz2

Got it extracted to kdewebdev-3.5.9.tar 

Tar -xvf to create kdewebdev-3.5.9 directory - didn't know where to put the
download files - I ended up with /usr/kdewebdev-3.5.9

 

Then I tried the "./configure" command per
http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdewebdev/quanta/source-code-building-3-2.html,
but it failed with: 

Configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

 

(I should also note that most of these commands I prefixed with 'sudo' in
order for them to run properly.)

 

So here are my questions:

1)      Is the directory I am using acceptable (/usr)?

2)      Where do I get a C compiler?

 

Thank you for your assistance!
