i did #yum install gcc

and it completed.

it had dep's:
Performing the following to resolve dependencies:
  Install: glibc-devel.i386 0:2.3.4-2.fc3
  Install: glibc-headers.i386 0:2.3.4-2.fc3

and i allowed them to be installed.

#./configure in the irrssi** directory still doesn't work.
here's the output from ./configure:
