Hi Syd, It seems that others have already said that a lot of people don't use an "IDE" per se when developing C++ in Linux. Just what is meant by an "ide" vs "tool" vs "gui tools" vs "gui designer" isn't always clear. There are the basic "tools" already mentioned. As far as text editors there are many that support development in some helpful ways, especially emacs. Even vim has some cool editing features. DDD is a pretty good gui interface to the gnu debugger if you want to get up to speed with all the gdb features. It displays the gdb dialog down in the bottom window, which means you can learn while using it. It also means you'll probably end up using gdb directly from the command line for simple debugging tasks before long. One package I've used very little myself, but have actually installed and set up for other programmers and heard great things about is Eclipse. In constrast to what some of the other folks have said about Unix programmers, I think a well designed IDE can be very helpful. This one appears to be well thought out and has a certain Unix sensibility to it. It is open source and you can interface all kinds of cool and free stuff. It originally was designed for java, but I use Netbeans for that. The people I've set it up for are doing php with it, but I have thought seriously about trying it for C++ work myself. Here's a web page on using it with C++ http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-ecc/ Best, Jim -- Jim Wilson Kelco Industries PO Box 160 Milbridge, ME 04658 207-546-7989 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
