Precompiled Binaries for GIT

Question

I am trying to install git on a redhat linux box but get the following error because C compilers are against the security policy where I work.

configure: Setting lib to 'lib' (the default)
configure: Will try -pthread then -lpthread to enable POSIX Threads.
configure: CHECKS for site configuration
configure: CHECKS for programs
checking for cc... no
checking for gcc... no
configure: error: in `/home//git-1.9.2':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details

Does any one know where I can get the precompiled binaries for Git 1.9.2? Having looked on the net i could not find any. If there are not any how do you install git without having a C compiler

Thanks

From your linux distribution's Package Manager or PPA. For Windows, there is msysgit with installer — linquize, Apr 23 '14 at 11:19
I am not aware of any repositories that provide such a new Git for Red Hat. In the past, I have dealt with similar situations by [building an RPM](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package) on a machine where C compilers are permitted and then installing that RPM on the target box. — ChrisGPT was on strike, Apr 23 '14 at 11:53

On a redHat, I prefer using a search engine like http://rpm.pbone.net, where you can:

select the target architecture (like "RedHat EL 7")
enter 'git-core'

I can easily get an rpm relatively recent (Git 2.19 for instance), and using rpm2io/cpio, I can extract/"install" it anywhere I want for testing.
