download gcc

[vaib]

hi there
i've a newbie to the linux world and i mean to do c/cpp programming on linux.i downloaded openSUSE 10.3 (KDE) cd and also the add-on cd from opensuse.org but could not run gcc command . apparently it only had gcc preprocessor and c runtime library but not the actual compiler . then i downloaded gcc rpm (i586) from somewhere but while installing it yast said that it lacked certain dependencies . where would i get the complete , hassle free rpm (i586).thanking in anticipation.vaib.

It is on the CD/DVD Just go into Yast-Software=Software Management and search for gcc.

While the you should install the Kernel-source. At some point you will need it.

With 10.3 you can also add community repositories to get things updated from the web.

Exactly, just simply do a search in Yast's Software Management console and you'll find everything you need there as far as gcc goes.

thank u so much but it was not there in the 10.3 kde cd i downloaded . it just had the preprocessor and c runtime libraries.

Most live cd versions do not include development tools (because of the limited space available on a single cd). You will have to do YAST -> Software Community Repositories and enable the main oss and non oss repos as well as any other repos that maybe of interest to you. After that you should be able to install gcc using YAST.
