SuSE 9.1 personal gcc install woes
I've recently switched from Knoppix(my first linux distro) to SuSE 9.1 personal and i must say im very very impressed with SuSE, however, I'm at my wits end when it comes to the gcc. It's not installed by default and when i try to use YaST to download and install the GCC it says they are already installed and quits, but when i try to cmpile sure 'nuff theres no gcc on my system. I downloaded gcc from thier homepage but as i dont have a compiler i cant compiler the gcc compiler. Anyone have any ideas about how to get this to work, i'm thinking of switching distros as much as i dont want too.
Help please! |
same problem,
their gcc is called cpp the installed c compiler....... but it needs many other stuff. when u run ./configure , they say somewhere in the INSTALL txt CC=xx ./configure i give CC=cpp ./configure do you have "make" ? I had it in my first installation, but now I don't have it now. |
Hello,
I recognize the problem, i've got suse 9.1 myself for about 3 months now, but only the basics are installed, so you have to install a lot yourself if you want to compile and do some development.. it might be better if you'ld install the rpm. Go to ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp...9.1/suse/i586/ then you'll see a whole list with programs, search for "gcc" , there are several: gcc...(C compiler) gcc-c++ (C++ Compiler) ... just download and install what you need, for now you only have to download the gcc, but if you ever have to compile a C++ program or java, then it's best to download them too, then you don't have to go back to the ftp everytime to download something :) |
I would go for the SuSE pro install via ftp personally. It has a lot more packages you can use for development than Personal.

Gkar, i have make but cant configure dunno, its a pickjle thats for sure. Thanks again everyone. |
check out apt-get for suse. it will find the packages AND the dependencies, and install them for you...i'd also suggest installing synaptic, a front-end gui which makes apt-get quite easy to use.
