Mandriva Linux question

[wysota]

Boot into runlevel 3. I'm sure the CD supports it.

[Salazaar]

But how? When I run live-cd, it's 'welcome screen' and it starts booting

[wysota]

Use F1 or F3 as earlier advised. The live cd should first let you choose some things before booting the system. Even the install disk does that, so I'm sure live cd has such capabilities as well.

[Salazaar]

Ok, I've solved the problem in other way.

[Salazaar]

But I've got another question. When I try to compile program with make (install) i get that there's no such command. When I launch add/remove programs I've got gcc preprocesor and library selected. What's up??? Why I can compile?

[wysota]

Preprocessor is not a compiler. You need to have other packages installed as well. Like gcc-g++, make, binutils, libstdc++-devel, glibc-devel and probably others as well.

[Salazaar]

And I've got gcc gnu libs installed either. And does somebody know is there simplier way to install gcc on Mandriva 2008 than this

What happens when you try to run g++? Do you have make installed?

[Salazaar]

Run? What do you mean? I don't know, I've got (or not) gcc tgat was basically installed with Mandriva. I don't know whether I've got it or no, if not it means that it is not installed

[wysota]

Mandriva live-cd was not meant for development. Either install it on your disk and use rpmdrake to install the remaining required software or use a live-cd meant for development - it will have the tools already installed.

As for gcc C++ development, you need at least those packages installed (and of course their dependencies):

• libgcc1
• gcc
• gcc-cpp
• gcc-c++

Running "urpmi gcc-c++ glibc-devel libstdc++-devel" should install all the required software, provided that urpmi is configured properly.

And don't forget about installing make.

Mandriva live-cd was not meant for development.

What's the name of this?

[wysota]

The name of what?
