[newbie] gcc problem: cannot find 'cc1plus'
Hello, I know this may be an old problem. When I use gcc to compile a cpp file, the error occur: installation problem, cannot find 'cc1plus' .. I have searched the solution with google. I know it is related to the 'gcc-cpp*' package. When I tried to installed that package, I get the message 'package already installed'. When I tried to uninstalled by 'rpm -e gcc-cpp', it turned out that several other packages depend on it. How can I fix that problem and install a full gcc-cpp package? Btw, my mandrake version is 10.1, gcc version is 3.4.1. Thank you. Sincerely, Boyi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] GCC version
Hi Greg Contents: 1. About your html formatted mail 2. About vmware (important - memory requirements) 1. About your html formatted mail Try to set your mail client (probably Outlook) not to compose messages in html format (Tools - Options - Send - Mail sending format). Allways, if you are sending a message to any kind of list, check the format (for example in Outlook you can't see, in what format are you sending a message without taking a look on settings). E-mail is standardly in plain text format and all proper clients are showing only the text arrived, so html tags are shown and also are very disturbing. If you want to send a html formatted e-mail to anyone, you are supposed to check, if the recipient is ready, abble and happy with it. 2. About vmware (important - memory requirements) If you want to use vmware to install additional win* system, you need MEMORY! My case: 96Megs of RAM. If i start a virtual computer under vmware, i am abble only to share 12 Megs of RAM for this computer (the rest is needed for host system), which does not allow me even to install win98 (win95 is OK). So if you want to run winxp on your vmware virtual machine, you need at least 160 Megs of RAM (without at least 64M the winxp install won't start)(win98 is installable on a box (or virtual box off course...) with at least 16M, win95 is happy with 4M BTW: 640kB of memory will be enought for everybody.

[newbie] gcc warnings
Hi there all, Often when I'm compiling programs, I get a warbningfrom gcc: cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory /usr/local/include cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory It seems gcc (or another program) is giving /usr/local as the first search-dir for libs and includes (instead of /usr), but I can't find out where to change this order. Yeah the programs compile great, but this silly warning is getting a bit on my nerves as it appears about 1000 times per compile ;-) Any suggestions / solutions?

Re: [newbie] gcc doesn't work
We have done some more work on this. We re-installed Mandrake and did NOT install any of the development packages. No gcc was installed at all at that point. Then we went back and selected the development group and accepted the default values for the packages (gcc2.96). We did not select the other category that had gcc3.04 in it. After installation, to verify that gcc was installed, we did the following command: [root@pathfiles root]# find / -name gcc /etc/alternatives/gcc find: /mnt/floppy: Input/output error find: /mnt/cdrom: Input/output error /var/lib/rpm/alternatives/gcc /usr/bin/gcc Then we wrote a simple C program and tried to compile it: gcc sample.c The error is gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp0': No such file or directory. We were logged on as root and the program was in the root directory. Then we copied it to the directory where cpp0 is located, and got the same error. Then we searched and found that we did indeed have gcc2.96 and gcc3.04 by issuing the following command: [root@pathfiles root]# rpm -qa | grep gcc rpm -qa | grep gcc rpm -qa | grep libstd gcc3.0-cpp-3.0.4-2mdk libgcc3.0-3.0.4-2mdk gcc-2.96-0.76mdk gcc-c++-2.96-0.76mdk gcc3.0-cpp-3.0.4-2mdk libgcc3.0-3.0.4-2mdk gcc-2.96-0.76mdk gcc-c++-2.96-0.76mdk libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.76mdk libstdc++3.0-devel-3.0.4-2mdk libstdc++3.0-3.0.4-2mdk libstdc++2.10-devel-2.96-0.76mdk Our dilema is that we have packages that we need to install, and we can't even compile the simplest C program.

[newbie] gcc-c++
hi, maybe this is more of a question for the expert, but anyways: what's the deal with gcc-c++?. everytime i try to compile a c++ program i get messages like c headers not found (while running configure) or strcomp not defined (while compiling). in some cases i've been able to fix the by using egcs, but since most programs are set up to be compiled with gcc, it would be nice i could get this working. any ideas. mik Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] gcc problems
The Mandrake 8.0 GCC is not the same as the unstable GCC used in Red Hat 7.0 and 7.1. Unfortunately, for technical reasons, the Mandrake developers decided to use the same version number as Red Hat used for their GCC (2.96), creating heaps of confusion in the process. Mandrake have been compiling Cooker with their GCC (a pruning from the then-unfinished 3.0 tree) for months now, with no problems whatsoever. Hopefully Mandrake will end this confusion by releasing a GCC 3.0 package. Red Hat have already done so, and have labelled it as a critical update.

[newbie] gcc and g++ output
I downloaded LM 8 when it first came out, and installed it on three computers: mine, my roommate's laptop, and my roommate's desktop. The two desktop computers are P3 450s with over 128 MB of RAM. The laptop is a P3 mobile 700 (I think that's the clock speed) with 128 MB of RAM. Anyway, the installations went without a problem, but when we tried to run programs, I noticed some strange happenings. On my machine, when using gcc or g++ if I invoke printf() or cout in a Hello, World! program, respectively, there is no problem when the object file is run. On my roommate's desktop, printf() works and prints Hello, World! to the console when the object file is run, but cout does not print anything to the console. On his laptop, neither form of output works and nothing is printed to the console. He piped his output to a file and the string appeared, but we both thought it was very strange that the default install could be so strange. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the number 2.96 was abandoned by the gcc team. We used it to identify our pruning from the 3.0 development tree. It was many months after RH made thier gcc 2.96. It has been tested for six full months. It makes programs correctly however it is probably a lot stricter than the gcc compilers your are used to. It does not include standard headers by default, you have to be explicit. It builds Python and Perl so they pass ALL their regression tests. 2.95 never did that for us. Everything seems to work better with this compiler. Now gcc 3.0 is out, and we are testing it, but don't expect an overnight switch. It took about 4 moths of testing for us to make a technical decision about this compiler even though we needed it for development work on future processors, and it may take that long again in testing before we accept gcc 3.0. Remember that a lot of the programs on this distro are bleeding-edge, and we cannot maintain or debug them without being able to trust our compiler. Civileme

Before linux, I used the old DOS-based Turbo C's and Visual C++ in Win98 to learn C and C++ [not really been able to build anything that would benefit all of mankind yet :) ]. My first try at compiling under linux is rather traditional: I made a simple Hello World program and typed 'gcc hello.cc' on the console. It compiled OK. Next, I tried a small program that uses the keyword 'new'. gcc doesn't seem to recognize it. I was worrying I might be missing some include file.

You have to specifiy what files you want to compile.

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.

I'm doing some learning myself, and someone directed me to 'man gcc' and 'man g++'; that helped me a lot.

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.

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.

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.

[newbie] GCC
And yet another question. I've downloaded a few programs and tried to install them to no avail. After I untar the file, I type './configure'. There is some activity, and then a message that states the following: loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. What's up with that? Does this mean that the GCC program is not installed or not working properly?
Re: [newbie] gcc not working
Looks like you dont' have all the libraries installed. Go to /usr/include and
see if stdio.h is there. If it's not, then you'll need to download an RPM of
whatever header files you need, like
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/cooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/glibc-devel-2.1.3-2mdk.i586.html
for stdio.h.
But from what it sounds like, this is a newly installed system so to save you
the headache of later compiles, you may want to consider reinstalling and this
time select all the packages that have ANYTHING to do with programming and/or
libraries.
Hmm, reading through the installation procedure of Mandrake 7, looks like the
installation that you do ("recommended") doesn't let you choose what packages
you install. In that case, you can either look up each libary you're missing (I
use http://google.com/linux to search for the file and see what rpm file it is
in, and then use rpmfind.net to download it from) or else do a "Custom"
installation, which you probally wouldn't want to do since you're a newbie.
Your choice though.
And if any Mandrake peoples are reading this, you guys really need to make the
installation of all the libraries standard for all installations. It's a huge
hassle to go track down everything if you don't have it, and newbies don't
relieze that they'll need all those libraries (since they don't program) until
they start compiling stuff from source.
Hello!
I have just installed Mandrake 7.0 yesterday I am
a very newbie!!! :)
i chose the 'recommended installation'
i installed mandrake on its own partition!
after installation... i tried gcc
but it didn't work!
i tried the famout "Hello World" example!
but the compiler complained that
stdio.h: No such file or directory
what to do!
i tried to reinstall linux again but this didn't work!
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thank u

Right on, Anthony! I just ran into the same type of problem trying to compile a
driver for my NIC. I
hope the Mandrake folks read your (our) messages.

[newbie] GCC or CC not Found..Any Help?
I've installed Mandrake 7..0 and now I am attemtpting to setup Samba. However, when I run ./configure, I get the following messages: checing for gcc...no checking for cc...no no acceptable cc found in $PATH I have modifed my path a number of times, adding path's to where I believe the GCC compiler is, but obviously i am wrong. Can you help? Is it possible hat the latest Mandrake install that I completed did not install GCC? I thought that was part of the base package? Dan Ferris wrote: Joe Knapp -Technician wrote: Hi Everyone, I'm 3 days old in linux. Using ver 7.02 of mandrake (GOD THAT WAS A LONG DLOAD!). Heh, anyway my question is a simple one, what is the best programming envinronmet for coding c in linux? I'm just looking for some opinions on this one so go ahead and fire away... also to at least keep me satisified temporarily what is the procedure for coding and compiling via command line. Joe Knapp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Although I'm not a C programmer (well as little as possible :-), I can give you a few pointers. If you like KDE, and plan to write Object Orienated programs for KDE, try Kdevelop. It has a bunch of nice wizards for making widgets and classes and all that stuff. http://www.kdevelop.org There is another programming IDE for KDE as well, but I can't remember the name, or the web page. I do not think that it is as far along in development as Kdevelop is. Kdevelop is past version 1.0 (I think its on 1.1 or 1.0.1 I don't remember and don't feel like checking) If you want to use GTK+, there are a bunch of IDEs avaliable for it as well. I think there is even one that is specifically for Gnome. Go to http://www.gtk.org to check that out. Good luck. Dan

Re: [Re: [newbie] Gcc: Missing iostream.h ?]
Hi Ronald,
I don't know I've development files for gcc/g++ or not, I installed mandrake
7.0 by choosing the recommended option from an iso file downloaded from web
site and burn into a CD while I was in Windows98.
If this option don't include the development files please point me to where
I can get the files.
Thank you.

Re: [newbie] gcc catch 21.78651 rounded up
You need the development packages too... at the very least you want to install glibc-devel for C programs and libstdc++-devel for C++ programs. You may also want several others like gtk-devel, qt-devel, etc... any time you get that kind of error when compiling, check to make sure you have 'devel' packages for all the stuff that program requires.
