Where can I get a Linux C++ compiler from?

[kikolani]

Please tell me where can I get a good free Linux C++ compiler from.

[Duthomhas]

Debian systems:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

elsewhere:
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.3

If all else fails, see http://gcc.gnu.org/install/

For an IDE, you can check out:
Code::Blocks http://www.codeblocks.org/
Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/ganymeder
You can also peruse http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Devtools/ides.html

For just darn good text editors:
AlphaTk http://www.santafe.edu/~vince/Alphatk.html
NEdit http://www.nedit.org/
Emacs http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

etc.

Good luck!

go to gcc.gnu.org,
download gz file, extract it
run ./configure, make and then make install.

the compilation will take some time and it will install in some non-standard path as not write the already existing compiler in your system.
lets say it installs in /usr/local/bin then you have to add this path to $PATH ahead of /usr/bin

simple!!! you will have the latest g++ 4.3.3 compiler.
