Mandriva Linux question

[wysota]

Preprocessor is not a compiler. You need to have other packages installed as well. Like gcc-g++, make, binutils, libstdc++-devel, glibc-devel and probably others as well.

And I've got gcc gnu libs installed either. And does somebody know is there simplier way to install gcc on Mandriva 2008 than this

What happens when you try to run g++? Do you have make installed?

[Salazaar]

Run? What do you mean? I don't know, I've got (or not) gcc tgat was basically installed with Mandriva. I don't know whether I've got it or no, if not it means that it is not installed

[wysota]

Mandriva live-cd was not meant for development. Either install it on your disk and use rpmdrake to install the remaining required software or use a live-cd meant for development - it will have the tools already installed.

As for gcc C++ development, you need at least those packages installed (and of course their dependencies):

• libgcc1
• gcc
• gcc-cpp
• gcc-c++

Running "urpmi gcc-c++ glibc-devel libstdc++-devel" should install all the required software, provided that urpmi is configured properly.

And don't forget about installing make.

Mandriva live-cd was not meant for development.

What's the name of this?

[wysota]

The name of what?

[Salazaar]

Of this Madnriva sub-distribution you've mentioned to use otherwise. I've got another problem. I've moved some files (.tar.bz2) to a directory. I've extracted one, ok. I'm extracting secon, but it tells me that I don't have the permission to write it. But previous file I've unpacked with no problem! These two files have the same permissions. Regards

I didn't say to use mandriva. Mandriva doesn't have a live-cd dedicated for development. Either install mandriva on a hard disk as a regular system or find a different live-cd, best if it was based on Debian.

[Salazaar]

So you suggest not to use mandriva to develop programs? I tried Kubuntu, but I had network problems. My network card was well recognised, but when I tried to connect to it, computer has been crashing every time...

[wysota]

So you suggest not to use mandriva to develop programs?

No I suggest not to use mandriva live-cd to develop programs. I use Mandriva myself and it works just fine. But I run it from my hard disk and not from a live cd.

I don't understand. Running from hdd? Explain, please, what shell I do to have Mandriva 2008 with all developer-needed components.
