Suse 9.1 and gcc

kirtimaan_bkn · 01-06-2006, 02:58 AM

Hello,

Yesterday I got another distro on my system, SUSE 9.1. Now I an unable to find gcc on that. only language available in box is cpp and java.

I have looked in Yast -> Software installation -> development group, but no luck. when I searched installation source for gcc only i found libgcc.

For this reason, I am unable to some drivers as they complain gcc or cc not found in $PATH.

How I can gcc on suse 9.1 ?

Thanks, Kirtimaan.

1. Gcc is shipped with Suse, since I am using Linux.
2. Is gcc installed?

Hello, Keruskerfuerst

I am unable to locate gcc on suse. I tried following command as root:

Code:

rpm -q gcc

package gcc not installed.

Code:

gcc

command not found.

Also I checked with package manager and searched for package gcc. only result found was libgcc.

Thanks, Kirtimaan.

Gcc is contained on the CDs/DVD. Sure.
Gcc is a part of the "development" package.

Hello Keruskerfuerst,

I again checked with my one and only CD for Suse 9.1 (from which os was installed on that system.) The development package group show "cpp" - gnu c preprocessor and not GCC.

I think you have any other or retail version of Suse and I have download (free) version. I am not interested in changing from this. and looking for a method to get gcc on this box. I have also googled on this topic and found some rpms. Tomorrow I will give that a try and post the result here.

Thanks, Kirtimaan

You could go to the rpm.pbone.net web site; set the filter for SuSE 9.1 and download the gcc RPM.

We are most probably talKing about 9.1 Personal Edition, which is not shipped with development-tools. To get gcc (and all the other stuff) you need to add online repositories to your installation sources. Have a look here:

Hello,

jschiwal, thanks for your help. I already tried that and lost with dependencies issues.

abisko00, Yes, You are correct. I am talking about personal edition. And thanks for giving thread link. I think that is the best available workaround of this problem.

Thanks to all, Kirtimaan.
