I’m looking for an up-to-date C/C++ compiler which is available for free and not dependant on .NET. I would also like to find a compiler for Linux, GCC or G++ is ok but I’m having issues installing. (Actually using Linux is new to me).

"but I’m having issues installing."
You're expecting to catch the right fish with that bait?

I'm pretty sure GCC is installed by default, with your Linux distribution.
Simply, type from bash : gcc --version
If it says something like "bash: gcc: command not found", then GCC may be not installed.
But, if it displays the current version of GCC, it is installed.

I'm using SUSE 10, the free version. I was supriseed to find it didn't include GCC by deault and I have yet to figuer out the download/ install proceduer.
When last I used GCC it was on a Solaris runing UNIX.

Maybe its installed but not in your path.
try to run as root.
find / -name gcc
I cant belive it wasnt installed with default installtion.
