Kopete, already installed, does AIM. You can installin GAIM to try it, it does all the major protocols. Under System-->Configuration-->Install software
MP3-Noatun or XMMS, already installed. You won't find an ACC player.
lpod connector, don't know what that is
P2P, don't know, never used any. Probably one installed, someone else jump in.
You might want to go through the Help docs you have. Mandrake comes with, literally, thousands of applications already. Install is trivial, if you learn how to use RPMDrake, etc. Download Mandrake RPMs, don't try compiling till you get your feel wet.
i also have 9600 pro and got it to work , the problem is that its not 3d enabled and u should get its drivers from ati but for more info try searching the mandrake forums here as i am using a distro based on debian.

Basically, this is telling you that you have a minimal installation, with C language compiler only. Go back to the installation CD's, and look for the rest, and install them. They may be listed as g++, c++, cpp, cxx (for c++ language compiler; fCC for fortran, etc. This is telling you that you haven't installed any language compiler other than C. I don't know what 'Drake uses for system maintenance, so I can't help you there.
