install GCC compiler in linux
 
Hi,

How can I install GCC 4.4.2 in ubunto linux ?

Run this in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Code:
sudo apt-get install gcc
This will install 4.4.1 - if you want 4.4.2 specifically, you'll have to download and compile that version. 4.4.1 should be fine for most purposes though.

The gcc compiler (and its libraries) has a somewhat special place in the Linux system, since it is "the tool that's used to build everything else." You would be well-advised to leave this chore to your distro... "don't mess around with it in any way."

What's your point? Are you suggesting he not install gcc? That can't be right.
