I have replied in one of your other threads. There is nothing exactly like Visual C++. Since you are using Kubuntu which is a KDE based disto, all you need to do is install gcc, gdb and an IDE like KDevelop. You can do this by entering the command,

$sudo aptitude update
$sudo aptitude install build-essential gdb kdevelop

i tried to run those 2 commands on the konsole terminal but it asked me for a password..i tried entering the password i assigned for the user on startup, but it didnt work

Are you the only user on the system? If so, then you need to enter your own password. If you are not the only user, then the first user that was created on the system would be automatically setup as the administrator, so its their password that you need.

no it was another problem..i thought i was getting it wrong but i was actually pressing Enter before actually writing the password, coz i was writing it and no "***" was being displayed so i was pressing Enter before..anyway the problem is solved..thanks anwyay
