Actually, there are at least two IDEs available for GCC running in Linux. One of them is pretty much identical to the RHIDE IDE for djgpp (the Linux version has a different name, which I do not remember) and a new IDE (still alpha or beta software, I think) called kdevelop. None of these programs are used much, because almost everybody finds Emacs vastly superior. Mastering Emacs takes some time, but when you have mastered it you will probably feel crippled in all other IDEs (including the IDEs supplied with commercial compilers like Visual C). The default settings in Emacs are not very good, but you can easily configure and extend the editor to your own preferences. Tord
