well I thought I did have one, its called gcc.<br><br><a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/gpp/">http://directory.fsf.org/project/gpp/</a><br>g++ is the traditional nickname of GNU C++, a freely
redistributable C++ compiler. It is part of gcc, the GNU compiler
suite, and is currently part of that distribution.<br><br>[root@aalto]# rpm -q gcc<br>gcc-4.1.1-51.fc5<br><br>&gt;what you do need is a c++-compiler.<br>wierd I thought all I would need is gcc, which i thought *was* the GNU cpp compiler, so are you saying it isnt? I do have gcc, but configure doesnt look for gcc...only a bunch of c++ compilers that I am not very familiar with like RCC and FCC, why wouldnt it look for gcc? is there something i need besides plain gcc?

<br>&gt;<br>&gt; Definition: *build-essential*: Informational list of build-essential<br>&gt; packages If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don&#39;t need<br>&gt; this package. Moreover this package is not required for building Debian
<br>&gt; packages. This package contains an informational list of packages which<br>&gt; are considered essential for building Debian packages.<br><br></div>what you do need is a c++-compiler.<br>this answers your question &quot;who uses g++, i dont even know how to get it.&quot;:
<br>g++ is _the_ gnu c++ compiler. almost everyone who wants to compile C++<br>on linux (and os-x, btw) uses it. since Gem is written in C++ (as<br>opposed to Pd, which is written in C), you need g++.<br><div class="Ih2E3d">
<br>&gt;<br>&gt; is gem dependent on debian?<br><br></div>no, not at all.<br>it is just that most people (including me) are using (a) debian<br>(flavour, like ubuntu); that&#39;s why there is a bias in the documentation.<br>
<br>since i don&#39;t know fedora so much, i will give you generic instructions:<br>- try to use an interactive (graphical or text-based; whatever you<br>prefer) package-manager frontend, where you can search for packages and
<br>select them. search for &quot;g++&quot; and see what it gives you.<br>- ask the mother of all evil, google, what it gives you with &quot;fedora<br>g++&quot;; at least here the first four hits deal exactly with your problem
<br><br><br>btw, you will need _a lot_ of other packages as well, if you want to<br>have fun with Gem.<br>they should be listed in some README.linux<br>(read through the debian section; the packages on fedora should be named
<br>similar).<br><br><br>mfg.asdr<br><font color="#888888">IOhannes<br></font></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>-----------<br>i am an agent implanted into your unconscious when you abducted by the travelers. look for signs of me in your life.
