Fedora 10 doesn't come with GCC and make?

seanwong · 06-05-2009, 08:57 PM

hey guys,

A newbie here.

I know this sounds weird but the Fedora 10 I installed doesn't have gcc and makefile in it.

I burned a CD from fedora.org and could it be the problem with the CD I burned? During installation, it didn't ask me to choose what packages I wanna install.

I don't know much about live CD but this installation procedure is different from my previous experience. It firstly take me to a 'virtual' linux desktop and I started the installation through clicking a Installation icon on it. Is this what so call live cd installation?

Any help is highly appreciated.

I think doing it via the liveCD gives you a stripped version. If you are on the internet then do a
yum provides gcc

etc to find what you are looking for

Thanks watcher69b, I can use yum to install gcc. However, I wanna get a specific version of g++, namely gcc-4.1.2, not the latest one. I tried to issue '$yum install gcc-4.1.2' but it doesn't work. Do you know how can do this?

I will give RPM a try tomrrow. Don't know if it works. Thanks again.
