programming in linux - ARGH!!!!
 

Firstly, having a LOT of trouble trying to get an updated version of gcc, cpp, libgcc and binutils working. The problem? gcc can't find a file: cc1plus

I'm guessing that should've come with the package, but it doesn't seem to install it. I copied the older one over, but then I still get problems. Can anyone direct me as to how to install a clean version of the programs, without the headache?

well if you are a newb(like me) use mandrake, also tell what language i used C++ and it worked out perfectly.... also another note make sure you know ASCII standard for C++ not Visual C++ or Basic, python is a very easy to learn powerful language also

are you trying to compile a new version or use rpm's?

Im using redhat now not hard at all

yeah, but trust me unless you are using the AS servers, or customed built servers dont go with redhat if you are a desktop user use mandrake! :P its made to be better than redhat

I'll second Mandrake as a great starter (and day to day) distro...even for a developper, its got it all.

How did you install GCC anyway? I notice you didn't mention a distro...
