g++ version greater than 3.0 where?

[mbiwpeoyc]

I tried Dr_Madd's link and it's broken.
The version of g++ that I've got (mandrake 8.2) is 2.96, I've checked the install CD's and that's as high as they go. Will the rpms from rpmfinder, for redhat work with mandrake? if so problem solved, if not, where do I go to get a version of g++ that's 3.0+?

I'll state again already tried ftp://henington.net and it will not work for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciatted.

Goto http://rpmfind.net/

Enter "gcc" in the searchbox, click enter.

Put mandrake in the "system box" and it'll show you the mandrake ones. One listed there 3+

whatever happened to compiling your own gcc? this whole if its not in an rpm i cant install it attitude really sucks. were not running windows here people.

Unfortunately not all of us are blessed with linux knowledge. I'm trying to learn and it's this attitude right here that makes me not want to, we come here for help not for flames.

Point me at the freakin howto on compiling gcc be a help....not a hinderance...that's why I posted on the HELP desk.

I only know how to RPM, if I knew how to compile my own I would. Just remeber just cause it's easy and second nature to you doesn't mean it is to everyone else.

That IS the problem, people asking the same questions over and over and over again does become quite annoying and counter productive to anyone who has a truely unique problem. If those that come here, asking for help, would simply stop and look before they ask, things would become much more productive in the end...

Just my 2cp.... :rolleyes:

Go to the gcc homepage.. there is plenty of information on their website for building their product (go figure!)... try searching google for their website..

And not everyone has a fast machine they are running Linux on and wants to wait days for gcc to compile, either...

You mean there is a way to get GCC running without compiling it? /boggle Wait till my k6/2 400 hears about that! ;)

Tis still good to at least know how to compile your C dev platform unless you never plan on changing your linux dist. - though an RPM will save me quite a bit of time.

hmmm, I have 8.2 intalled and it has gcc-3.0.4 and g++-3.0.4 on it.

it's even on disk one I belive, you sure you don't have it :p

goto your console and type. "gcc" then hit tab, I bet you have it installed already. should be there if you chose all development packages during install
