/usr

Where can I get one and what's it called? I thought one was included with the install but I don't see it. Thanks.

That would be the gcc command, and is indeed probably already installed.

Check the following site for the documentation:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/

These are just a few guesses....

I found GCC on a site last night to download. I was just looking under the Programming section of the menu, assuming it would be there.

What's the easiest way to find out if it's installed?

1. write your program using a text editor,
2. save with extension ".c", (example: programname.c)
3. open up your console/command line interface ("konsole" if your using the KDE gui)
4. navigate to where your file is
5. to compile type gcc -o programname programname.c
6. to run the program type ./programname

By running the command gcc without options, as root.

Im copying some sample C programs from a book and cant get them to comple. Im looking at some sample programs online and see something at the beginning that looks like the

#include < stdio.h>

I have nothing like this as the samples in the book Im looking at just jump right in to the code. I'm new to C, but know java. Just need to know what Im leaving out. Thanks a lot.

/usr

anyone?

/usr

code

int main(int argc, char, *argv[])
{

char buffer[500];
strcopy(buffer, argv[1]);
return 0;

}

error

/tmp/cc61kvbw.o(.test+0x26): In function 'main':
: undefined reference to 'strcopy'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm stumped. I've followed examples exactly as is but with no luck. I'm running Red Hat 9.0
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm getting relatively the same error in every program. That is the "undefined reference" error

/usr

Got it, nevermind.
