Re: [newbie] GCC...where are you???
You have to specifiy what files you want to compile. So the correct usage would be something like "gcc -o executable_name source_code_name.c" Or for your Hello World, "gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c". See "man gcc" for more info on all the options. when i type gcc in a terminal window i get gcc.colorgcc: No input files I would like to be able to use the Gnu C++ compiler for a course in c programming and don't know how to get the darn thing to cooperate to where i can even do a hello world! -- GIF87a¾ -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Computers are not intelligent.

Re: [newbie] GCC...where are you???
gcc, the C compiler, and g++, the c++ compiler needs to be told which file you'd like to compile. If I've written a program and called it "dirtydeeds.c" or "dirtydeeds.cpp", when I want to compile it, I'd type: gcc dirtydeeds.c OR g++ dirtydeeds.cpp This will generate a file called a.out in the directory where my source file was located. Then just type: a.out to run the program. If you're like me, you'll get a crap load of errors. Vi has a nice feature to show you the line number, which makes finding the offending line easy.

Re: [newbie] GCC...where are you???
I'm doing some learning myself, and someone directed me to 'man gcc' and 'man g++'; that helped me a lot. For a 'hello world' c++ program, save the file as helloworld.cpp then run 'g++ -o helloworld helloworld.cpp' (the first helloworld being the executable file that you want to create, the second file being the one that you are compiling).

It might help to type the name of a source program after the compiler instruction.

Otherwise, if you just install the RPM file, it does not. Please understand that the only thing the installer does is use RPM to install a list of packages. Just like you'd do from the command line. The same things happen in either case. Symbolic link and environment creation gets done by post-install scripts within the RPM package that would run the same at install time as they do at the command line. My guess is that you were missing other packages and took the "voodoo problem resolution" method popularized by Windows and reinstalled. If you expect to get much further than the three-days-at-a-time Linux usage, you're going to have to take a bit more time in researching and resolving the problem. Just as an example of the "voodoo problem resolution" method: I work in the IS department with one other person. Part of our job entails monitoring a SQLBase SQL server for crashed and hung processes. We got a call one afternoon that the server was hung. I opened the console tool, found the offending process, and killed it. My partner, who was in the bathroom at the time, came out and declared with a straight face that flushing the urinal must have cleared it up. THAT is what voodoo problem resolution is. No effort to understand the problem or resolution, just declaring that "something" must have fixed it. -- Steve Philp, MCSE/MCP+I Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [newbie] GCC...where are you???
Well, actually the gcc was installed before. As for query it, not sure specifically what you mean. I went and check the RPM database and it showed as installed. I could go to the console and type the gcc command and it would come up and will of the options. I believe the problem is in the environment settings. I believe when I did not select the "Developer" option on installation, the environment variables was not setup correctly for it to make executables. But I pulled a list of environment and it was only 8 pages long. Nothing that specifically pointed to c or c++ compiler options. I am like you. I have done allot of work to tailor the installation, and re-installing would be a pain. Actually got SAMBA to function fully and work with the domain controller, and integrated with the NT login script. Don't want to have to start from scratch.

I am going to grab all of the files that are dependant of the gcc rpm and do an install today. HOPEFULLY this will work, and I will not have to go through the whole messy upgrade process. I would not have so much trouble with this if I would have known sooner, but we already rebuilt the server and got all of our programs running on it. It would be a GREAT deal of trouble to reinstall the server from scratch...way too much extra work todo. I will try and keep the comm lines open here, and let some of you know how this goes, or if I find another way to successfully install gcc. Question for ya Dave: After you installed the gcc rpm did you query it to see if it really installed or not? I would like to know if it comes back as installed or still "missing". Let me know what you find out..

That might explain my problem! I have been trying to compile Mat Trace Route. When I do so, the configure script checks for the compiler GCC, and comes back and says it can't make executable file. I even went to the installation CDROM and reinstalled all the GCC RPM files, and get the same error. Suspect doing it this way does not set the right environment. Any idea how to get around this without re-installing from scratch?

If I recall, if you don't select 'Custom', and 'Development' during install, or otherwise explicitly specify to install the compiler, you don't get it. If you are downloading an *.rpm file, you should be able to install that no problem, assuming you have all the dependencies (required files/libraries,etc.) satisfied.
