I have just downloaded the Linux C gcc-4.4.2.tar.gz file.

May I know how do I install the C programming language in my system?

Can anyone tell me the steps in detail? I am a novice in this. Thank you.

Steve

Well, its easier to install the one built and provided for your linux distribution instead. That is a tarball of the general source version, which you cant compile yourself, seeing as you dont have a compiler. :)

To install the binary package for your distribution, it depends on what distribution you are running.

To install the basic C++ tools and compilers under Ubuntu type

sudo apt-get build-essential

For redhat/fedora, or suse, add the package groups/patterns for software development and c++ in the package manager.
