I need help with mandrake gcc

[specs]

I am having a big problem with the mandrake gcc I write a small hello program to test gcc and it tells me there is no stdio.h ... and I went into the include folder and I see it. can anyone help me? :confused:

Okay, it could be that your include paths aren't set right.... now I'm trying to figure out where they are but it exscapes me at the moment. But it should be something like /usr/include and if it's not set then that's why you're having the problems.

I had this problem and it seems that it is common on most installs. Put your mandrake cd in your system and check and see if all the rpms for c++ programming are on your system. After 20 installs of mandrake I found that for some reason it would not install all of the needed rpms to program with.

Thank you.. I will try them out but I think I am going to install slackware linux if my gcc doesnt start working...

If this is a c++ program; compile it with g++ instead of gcc. Also, try compiling with -I/path/to/dir (where dir is the dir that stdio.h is in).

I don't know what version of Mandrake you're using, but I doubt this is 'drake's fault.
