you might want to try
1) anjuta IDE [http://www.anjuta.org/]
2) kDevelop [http://www.kdevelop.org/]

there should be loads of other IDEs, you will have to search

HI,
Some tools for programming under linux:
-> compile: gcc or g++
->debug: gdb (i use debug using gdb but inside emacs, it is really easy to use)
-> editors: vim, emacs, kate

Some words about editors. In the emacs vs vim war i am vim partizan. However emacs is really powerfull editor. If you find both too complicated maybe you should try the graphical version (Gvim or xemacs). Kate comes with kde and it is more intuitive and easier for newbies. It is quite ok too.

Good luck!

Try linus GUI itself... see under start->programming... u will find something there provided u chose those options while installing... else check your rpm CD's

Are you using X windows.
If you are then Nedit is a small + fast editor.

It has some good syntax highlighting for C, matches up bracket/braces and uses sensible keyboard shortcuts.

If you're at a console then it's gonna be emacs, vim or pico.

I seriously think you guys provided plenty of extra information
without the other basics.

Yes, gcc is the standard compiler for C/C++ on linux.
G++ is the actual C++ compiler.

Use make for your large projects and the simple text editors
for creating your .cpp's -basically nano with Gentoo Linux

This site should help you for gcc syntax:
http://galton.uchicago.edu/~gosset/Compdocs/gcc.html
-that's information to do it old skool ~by the console.

That's where I learned it to be honest

...and if you get sick of gcc [how?] you can always
declare mutiny and use the Intel Non-Commercial Linux Compiler
-and you can take your rebel self to www.thefreecountry.com to
get a copy of that.

Hope that helps.

Nesting Of C++ Programs ?!
A Question About C++ Programming Under Linux

Hi all...
Is it possible to run a C++ Program within another Program... I know this sounds silly but I have a purpose for asking this question. My doubt is especially for Linux .. See I have developed a simple server and client (C programs) which are executed in the terminal by typing ./server port number in 1 comp , followed by ./client host_add port number in another.Now I wanna use this as a sub routine in my program where two computers communicate a string between each other and proceed with next step only if strings are the same .. So how can I integrate the passing of the strings (thru client chat) with the whole program ??
Are you getting my question??
Is it possible?
Thnx
