The Shrine

Hi All (Kupek especially),

What would you recommend as a good IDE to use with gcc on Linux? I'm a spoiled eclipse user and am looking for something similar for C++. I was looking into KDevelop, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to install it on my RedHat Linux machine (using gnome). Something about not being able to find my X includes.

In any case, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Zhuge Liang

I actually don't have much experience with IDEs on Linux. As an undergrad, I used Visual Studio for a long time on Windows, and when I had to write programs on Linux, I searched desperately for a good IDE. KDevelop is decent, but it had enough bugs to piss me off.

Now I use Linux eclusively for code development, and I don't use an IDE. My "development" environment is vi and a console window. For my needs, it works well; my code base is relatively small and entirely written by me. Most of my development is also done remotely via ssh into an SMP, and I don't want to tunnel a heavyweight application on a machine that's being used for performance results.

From my limited knowledge, KDevelop is probably your best bet, assuming you can find a way around what I assume is RPM dependency hell. But I'm interested in what you evetually settle on.
