i want to install GCC in Damn Small Linux
i hv installed dsl thru virtual box !!

i could not install VLC player in DSL as it says no good or compatible compiler available

now how do i install GCC and then finally install any program that i want ??
i tried to google but i did not understand much
was there a sticky to install progs in linux ? where did it go ??
few months back i had same probs in ubuntu...but gave up instead !!

You can try to set up APT on DSL via:

And then apt-get install gcc from the MyDSL repositories which setting up the APT will give you access to.

^^ thanks i will try as soon as !!
