Asking you all a very precise and most important question as far a newie programmer is concerned

1> Which all rpm packages should i download so as to get fully installed gcc with g++ in mandrake 10.1?

2> will this downloaded rpm work for future versions of mandrake?

3> What if i do not have the kernel source installed in the computer? Would that affect the rpm installation ?

Do tell me as i am a linux newbie , i wish to start my c++ programming in linux soon.

thanks in advance!!!

you don't need to download ANYTHING. everything you need IS on your mandrake distro cd's. use the urpmi tool or your own of choice to install gcc from it. using urpmi, all dependencies will also be pulled from the CDs.

1) In MDK 10.1 you should at least have these installed : gcc-c++-3.4.1-4mdk, libgcc1-3.4.1-4mdk, gcc-cpp-3.4.1-4mdk, gcc-3.4.1-4mdk
So do an

Code:

urpmi gcc
urpmi libgcc1
urpmi gcc-cpp
urpmi gcc-c++

It will ask you to put the proper CD (if you did a CD install in the first place) in and you should be good to go.

2) Future versions of MDK will have new versions that you can choose during install or afterwards (as done above).

3) Nope. The kernel source is only needed for compiling a new kernel (duh!) and additional (external) modules
to the kernel, like the NVIDIA binary and such.
