Asked by ganesh

I am a new user for ubuntu. I want to install and run c/cpp programs. I downloaded eclipse C/C++ ganymede from eclipse.org. It contains an eclipse.exe, According to my knowledge, .exe's do not run on linux, I tried to install by running that exe, and according to my expectations, it doesn't work. And I do not know the steps for installing s/w and compiling programs. Please send Me complete steps for Installation, and for compiling programs.

you don't need to compile programs or goto strange websites to install software on linux, you use the synaptic package manager (system -> administration -> synaptic package manager) or the add/remove programs application in the applications menu. you can find a guide on installing software this way here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/index.html

for your specific case you need to install the 'eclipse' package (which installs eclipse) and the 'eclipse-cdt' package, which installs the C/C++ development tools for eclipse

Can you help with this problem?
