gcc is the "GNU C Compiler" you cannot compile anything without it. It is on your CDs. Install with your Mandrake Software Install GUI. You do not need gcc if you are installing a precompiled RPM. If you have installed 10.0CE from the CDs then you might like to apply the updates. There are a whole bunch of them now. You do not need mdkonline installed to update your system. Just run the Mandrake Update GUI from your Mandrake Control Centre. The first time you run it, it will allow you to select an mirror. >Okay, I just installed a tonne of stuff from development tools. No luck. >Can >anyone recommend specific packages I should run to get this thing going? Not unless you tell us what the error is. It might be easier if you installed karamba instead of SuperKaramba. There is a Mandrake RPM for Karamba in the contrib folder of the Mandrake mirrors. If you type in a root terminal urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/stable/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 with ../base/hdlist2.cz (that command is all 1 line) Then you can install karamba using the Software Install GUI To learn more about urpmi and installing software take a look at the TWiki in my signature. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
