The gcc compiler *should* be on every Mandrake release.
My first advice is to set up online sources for your Mandrake version : 1. go here : http://easyurpmi.zarb.org and follow the instructions very carefully, clicking on the *proceed* tabs as demanded. And read the advice about *urpmi.removemedia*. When selecting sources, I'll recommend the Spanish *rediris* (assuming you are in Norway). 2. When finished, as root run : urpmi gcc Secondly, because version 10.0 is rather old, it's possible that some of the mirrors no longer support it. For example, your Norwegian *uninett.no* doesn't. But you can find gcc for your version here : ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandriva/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS HTH Kaj Haulrich. -- ***Sent from a 100% Microsoft-free PC*** ***Running Linux (Mandriva 2006)*** ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
