Installing Mandrake 10.1

shadoxx428 · 01-18-2005, 11:58 AM

Hello, I seem to be having a few problems with my Mandrake Installation. I'm running 10.1 download edition. For some reason, the C++ compiler didn't come with it, or it's just not installing right. When I installed my distro, it asked me what CDs I had, and when it asked me to pop in the right CD, it ejected it saying it wasn't the right CD. I looked in the file on CD 1 and it has the path to the hdlist.sz wrong. It says it's in media/media_info/hdlist.sz or whatever the file is called. The right path is media/mainX/media_info/hdlist.sz where in mainX the "X" is the CD number, so CD 2 would be main2 and so on. This has got me through a loop. The right packages are on the CD, but when I try to install them manually it says it's already installed. What's the point in having linux if you can't compile anything or install packaged that don't come with a pre-compiled version? I also like to program so I can't compile my own programs. Someone plz help me. I would appreciate it a lot. Thanx!

[root@localhost root]# rpm -qa|grep gcc
libgcc1-3.4.1-4mdk
gcc2.96-cpp-2.96-0.83mdk
gcc-cpp-3.4.1-3mdk
[root@localhost root]# g++
bash: g++: command not found
[root@localhost root]#

It looks like I have the right libraries, then again I've only had my machine for about a week so I don't know.

Thanx. I would have tried to figure it out myself except that I don't have internet and there is no way for me to research any problems I'm having. I'm at school right now posting, and there's no way for me to transport stuff, larger than 64 megs. Do you have a link where I could get the libraries from? Thanx again it would be a big help.

I am using red hat 9 and i got the following.
[root@localhost apache]# rpm -qa|grep gcc
compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.118
libgcc-3.2.2-5
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118
[root@localhost apache]# g++
bash: g++: command not found

Does this means I have gcc installed? Now i cannot seem to run gcc command.
