Hi guys im new to the linux environnement.
I started working on it and installed Kdevelop to work on some simple equations over C++.
well when i hit my first compile (F8) i got some big error. which goes as follows:

cd '/home/FiXon/Labos_cpp/Labo1' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -f Makefile.cvs && cd '/home/FiXon/Labos_cpp/Labo1/debug' && CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3" "/home/FiXon/Labos_cpp/Labo1/configure" --enable-debug=full && cd '/home/FiXon/Labos_cpp/Labo1/debug' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -k

THERE long yes.
On Kdevelop.org they give some sites like requirements but its really badly done and i tried each and i really cant see what i need to download and actually waht to do with it when i have. Please is there a package or anyone that has an idea what i should get and where.
PLEASE i need to work this for my studies
HELP
THANKS

Looks like you don't actually have gcc installed, so clearly you'll need to install it. How you do this will depend on which distro you're using.

I mean even if i find it can u give me an idea how i install it?? please i need Kdevelop for my class it would help me incredibly. Im using Fedora 7-i386

So please just tell me what i do to install the gcc on my distribution.
coes for exemple i found gcc-4.2.1.tar.bz2 on ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.2.1/
and i took gcc-3.3.tar.bz2 on same site
any way u can tell him how to install them, wont do anything until ur reply

thanks alot again

The files you have downloaded are source codes. You may not particularly need to compile source codes in order to install gcc. The rpm packages will be on your CD. Since you are using Fedora, yum can also be used to install gcc.

Since you will need g++ and may be others, to find out how to issue the yum command to install a particular component, try

yum search <program-name>

This will give you all the programs associated with the search string and you can install the necessary component by:
yum install <program>


If you insist of installing through source codes, unzip the bz2 files you have downloaded and read the detailed instructions in the README file.

ok ill try what u just told me thanks alot,
i just did yum install gcc and it installed it. I didnt download anything over the net, also did 'yum install kdevelop' and it installed it i dont have any packages that i dld on the net. kinda strange no?
btw what is the equivalent of the "yum" command in Kubuntu because im thinking of using kubuntu rather than fedora.
