compiler for SuSE 9.1 personal

deftones · 09-19-2004, 12:18 AM

I cant figure out how to install a compiler for suse. I read on here how to do this using add/remove software but i dont see Gcc or make. I cant find an ftp to install these either. I hope this is the right forum because there isnt one for suse.

You need to install "gcc", and have installed 'binutils' and 'glibc-devel'

go to add remove software, select search from the "Filter" pulldown. type gcc and "Search".

thanks for the reply,
when i type gcc i get cpp 'The GCC Preprocessor' and C compiler runtime library (libgcc). Is this correct? i installed both of them
Sorry for the dumb questions im a newb

Also when I try to install rpms using Yast it opens for a second then closes. Is that normal?

Yes install those and right below you should see "gcc" & "gcc-c++"

One the other q. I would just use yast for rpm's included on the cd only and install others from the command line.

No, you have SUSE Personal, which does not include Gcc or make on the CD. You are going to have to download the binaries from somewhere else on the internet, or else consider investing in SUSE Pro.

it keeps telling me that in order to install gcc i need make and some other crap, but when i try to install make it tells me i need gcc.

Yep. I remember.

oops, thats what i get for reading in a hurry, sorry!
it appears i already have binutils and it wont let me intstall glibc-devel saying glibc-devel is required to install

micxz · 09-19-2004, 06:59 PM

Please post you full command you are using to install `glibc-devel` or are u using the CD/Yast?

(I find it hard to believe that glibc-devel requires glibc-devel !!! Are you sure you didn't have a typo above?)

deftones · 09-19-2004, 07:56 PM

it requires glibc, which requires gcc, which is what i'm trying to install in the first place. I've got a copy of mandrake im gonna try out because i'm tired of this.
Thanks for all your kind help,
drew

Aight get all the required packages then try. I suggest you don't dump SuSE because your tired.

Why don't you install the Professional version via FTP? No one ever seems to take this route for some reason, although it clearly states that you can on most sites to do with SUSE????? It works way better than personal.

deftones · 09-20-2004, 06:51 PM

I thought you had to pay for the professional version... whats the point in having both of they both are free? Anyway I've got mandrake up and running well untill i can get a copy of the professional versoin of suse.
