   As Civileme aready suggested, inserting the install CD, doin an 
expert upgrade, and choosing 'Development' from the main selection 
screen, should get you goin. You probly also should read all of

You need a c compiler=:o)

Install gcc using the 'software manager' in Mandrake Control Center or on the 
CML: urpmi gcc without the quotes.

Good luck,

OK put in your install CD and boot from it

when it comes to class of install select EXPERT and UPGRADE

(yes upgrade from your current distro to your current distro)

It will fuss and cluck for a while then ask for packages  tick the one that 
says Development  If you want to compile things you need that.

Go on to individual package selection

You might just want to click the symbol at the bottom that toggles to the flat 
list then scroll along and read about the various (and many ) compilers 
available.

gcc, gcc-gnat(ada), cim, smalltalk, etc, and also make sure that EVERYTHING 
ending in -devel is selected.

Then let the update spin--just cancel each of the remaining steps to leave 
things as they are, or skip them as the case may be.  

You might want to install some interpreters like expect, ruby, cint, pike, 
basic-X11 (not all in the distro) and maybe some additional compilers like 
xbasic (www.xbasic.org)

You can have a system that is

A   B   C
development small footprint large footprint
GUI/Office  

Choose one from colum A and one from Column B, or Two from column A and one 
from column C

You will need to go back to the software manager in MCC and install all
of the dev packages in order to properly compile source tarballs -
unless you download the RPM's for it, or use urpmi to get the latest
MySQL stuff.
