I specifically _don't_ want a high learning curve. I want this to remain fun, if possible. After an hour and a half of llooking for the problem in vi KDevelop with it's color editor helped me find the problem in a few minutes. That's a big help. I haven't figured out how to tell Kdevelop to use a different compiler but that's not important right now. I can build in a terminal until I learn how. Thanks for the ideas. I also loaded up codeblocks which I read good things about. CodeLite is supposed to be good but I couldn't get it unmasked. Netbeans wanted to install too much Java stuff. Understandable as it's written in Java but I decided not to look at that one right now. For now I'm set. Thanks! Cheers, Mark
