issue with compiling C programs under opensuse 11.2

English Programming/Scripting
1

Hi All,

Using Opensuse 11.2

I was able to locate gcc under /user/lib64/

isssue is when i compile the program:

gcc -o a1 a1.c

I get following note:
**If ‘gcc’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf gcc
**
But when i …

**anoopfrancis@linux-c637:~/mine> cnf gcc
**
The program ‘gcc’ can be found in following packages:

  • gcc path: /usr/bin/gcc, repository: zypp (openSUSE 11.2-0) ]
  • gcc path: /usr/bin/gcc, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]

Try installing with:
sudo zypper install gcc

I checked under yast2>software management
I could see that gcc is installed.

Meanwhile i would like to install all software development packages.

Why doesn’t opensuse ask me to install the software development packages at the begining unlike fedora?

Thanks in advance

Install the Base Development Packages pattern from YaST and you will have gcc plus a lot of other packages you are likely to need.

When you installed openSUSE you were given the option of modifying the packages installed. Development packages are not installed by default. Most users don’t need them.

Well, my PC say:
[vampird@shinobu]:~$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
[vampird@shinobu]:~$

try: su -c “zypper in gcc”

The installer give you the option to install the devel packages when you
select the packages, did you see the details? or just install it as the
fedora way?

Thanks all for your time…

where can i find Base Development packages pattern from Yast…
cos i want install all the packages once for all…not when i am struck…
I don’t see Base Development packages under software in yast.

thanks vampird was able to compile.

Clarification: but i did see gcc under user/lib64
Won’t this be a duplicate installation?

Open up Software Management and click on the Patterns tab. Scroll down to the Development section.
