No, it's not a typo.

The configure script requires GNU dc, but GNU dc is now included in GNU bc -
same for RedHat packages.

You can find the source code at:

	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bc/

or any of its mirror sites.

When using RedHat, just install the `bc' package.

Most modern UNIXes should have a system `dc' program (tested with Digital Unix).
