solution to my problem I was having, in case it could help someone out I'm going to use kdevelop and Qt3 I went to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/, followed the directions, after that was done running, I typed in (as root) urmpi kdevelop and it installed itself.

so I've noticed

Thanks, I really appreciate your help also. I've found in the /bin perl and c++ executables but I cant get them to do anything, but I just started trying so we'll see how that goes As for the initial post on this topic, LiNewb... If you havent resolved your issue yet, step by step in plain english; go to the macromedia site and d/l in the linux terminal type the directory it's in, example: dir home/thoughtpolice/macromedia then, type; tar zxvf install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz then; ./flashplayer-installer done

yeah, I just had a go around and found the Wine package. way cool. If I can successfully install something, I just may defect from windows full time Thanks Dan! You are an ocean of knowlege, reading through these forums, I wonder if you've got Linux loaded into your brain! as far as c++ programs, I think I've found a few and one is on Mandriva. I just skimmed through wxWidget. You know anything about it?

...this is all from a long road of trial and error of course

I didnt really know what Wine or Flex were up until about 5 hours ago and I'm not finding them on my system. As far as a program, I'm not really sure exactlly, I just thought it would come in handy. Actually, I'd like to install Bloodshed I feel like I've got the hydrogen and oxygen, I just cant seem to put them together to make water at me@machine~$ I dont know if I need to type in "/home/usr/dir" and then ./configure or put ./config before I type that in or what...assuming I'm on the right track

I'm also trying to make that transition from windows mentality. I've got Mandriva '06 installed. I'm working on installing flex so that I might install wine and then a c++ compiler program...but anyway I've got my "flex" directory, and to make this concise, I'm unclear on how to initiate the ./configure command in relation and also, when I switched to 'root' and keyed in the directory with file and ran the make install command, I got a "permission denied" message so I tried to run chmod a+x but there werent "enough arguments". any advice? Thanks
