Which distro are you using?

Hi -

If you Google for this Netbeans error, you'll find a lot of different hits ...

... on a lot of different platforms (Linux, MacOS, Windows/Cygwin, etc)

... over a long period of time (at least as far back as 2006) ...

... but no resolution.

At least not that I can find.

Here are two links that might help:

Q: Have you verified that you can run "gcc" and/or "g++" from the command line?

Q: Did you try these suggestions:

http://netbeans.org/community/releas...html#verifying

1. In the IDE, select Tools > Options and click the C/C++ button.

2. In the Build Tools tab, look at the Tool Collection list to see if your tool collection is listed.

3. Select the tool collection if it is listed, and check the paths to the tools. If the Base Directory path is incorrect, you may have made a mistake when setting your Path environment variable. Refer back to the instructions for setting your path in this document, and correct the path if necessary.

4. If the tool collection is not listed, click Restore Defaults. This will cause the IDE to rescan your environment to look for tools and the tool collection should be found if the Path environment variable is correct.

5. If you are still having an issue, you can try adding a new tool collection and specify the path to the tools, as follows:

a) Click Add, below the Tool Collection list.

b) Browse to the directory that contains the executables for the compilers, debugger, and make utility. This is usually a directory named bin.

c) Select the directory and click Open. The IDE should be able to determine the family of the tools and update the other fields in the dialog box appropriately. If not, an error is displayed.

d) If the tools are identified correctly, click OK in the Add Tool Collection dialog box. The new collection should be displayed in the list.

e) Select the new tool collection and click Default to make sure this tool collection is used automatically for new projects.

Q: Have you considered trying the Eclipse IDE instead

?

C++ plugin is installed. But when I follow the following steps:-

1. In the IDE, select Tools > Options and click the C/C++ button.

2. In the Build Tools tab, look at the Tool Collection list to see if your tool collection is listed.

3. Select the tool collection if it is listed, and check the paths to the tools. If the Base Directory path is incorrect, you may have made a mistake when setting your Path environment variable. Refer back to the instructions for setting your path in this document, and correct the path if necessary.

4. If the tool collection is not listed, click Restore Defaults. This will cause the IDE to rescan your environment to look for tools and the tool collection should be found if the Path environment variable is correct.

5. If you are still having an issue, you can try adding a new tool collection and specify the path to the tools, as follows:

a) Click Add, below the Tool Collection list.

b) Browse to the directory that contains the executables for the compilers, debugger, and make utility. This is usually a directory named bin.

But it display GNU in tools collection and few fields missing like fortran complier,Make command,QMake command and CMake command etc.

When I used step 4 , but it display error like "No complier sets were found in /home/user/netbeans-6.9.1/bin". How I can correct it.

Pleas help me in this regard

Thanks & Regards
Vikas

Cool - thank you. At least we know:
a) you have valid compilers, and
b) Netbeans *should* (at least in theory

) be able to find them

Now...

You've already tried up through Step 4) above.

Please let us know how the rest of these steps go:
