ok, this is the first time i've ever posted a question, and i'm not very
knowlegdeable with linux at all, so forgive me if i ask questions with
painfully obvious answers. first off i guess i should say that i am using
linux mandrake 7.2 complete. i am trying to learn c programming, so i need
the gcc compliler, the make utility, and a debugger. the book i am reading
"teach yourself c for linux programming in 21 days", reccomends that i use
the ddd debugger. i typed in gcc -v, and make -v in the console to make
sure i had the compiler and make utility installed, which i did, but i can't
find anything on the debugger. i don't know if i have one installed or
what. there is a cd that came with my book that has all the stuff for the
compiler, and make utility and ddd debugger. i was wondering how to install
the debugger off of the cd if anybody could help me with that. i don't
really know how to use the redhat package manager. and secondly, that
leaves me with the question , is my cd rom mounted? i'm not really sure how
to tell if it is or not, and if it isn't, i don't know how to mount it. i
have linux set up ontop of windows 98 with lnx4win. if i put a cd in the cd
rom in windows, and than boot into linux, linux will read the cd that is in.
but if i put a cd in, while already in linux, i get errors, and it won't
read the cd. if anybody could help me out, i would so greatly appreciate
it. i'm sorry this is so long, i don't know if you are supposed to keep
these messages short or not.
thank you very much,
mike
