This package contains an informational list of packages which > are considered essential for building Debian packages. what you do need is a c++-compiler. this answers your question "who uses g++, i dont even know how to get it.": g++ is _the_ gnu c++ compiler. almost everyone who wants to compile C++ on linux (and os-x, btw) uses it. since Gem is written in C++ (as opposed to Pd, which is written in C), you need g++. > > is gem dependent on debian? no, not at all. it is just that most people (including me) are using (a) debian (flavour, like ubuntu); that's why there is a bias in the documentation. since i don't know fedora so much, i will give you generic instructions: - try to use an interactive (graphical or text-based; whatever you prefer) package-manager frontend, where you can search for packages and select them. search for "g++" and see what it gives you. - ask the mother of all evil, google, what it gives you with "fedora g++"; at least here the first four hits deal exactly with your problem btw, you will need _a lot_ of other packages as well, if you want to have fun with Gem. they should be listed in some README.linux (read through the debian section; the packages on fedora should be named similar). mfg.asdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
