hi im just starting to get to grips with programming in linux using C. I am currently using Gedit to program, but I would like an application that has numbers on the side to show which lines of code im currently reading from, to make it easier to debug errors. Any ideas? or can i change any settings to allow this in gedit ?
gedit can show linenumbers. ( Edit->Options ).

Well, if you want a full blown IDE then I would suggest Code::Blocks. You can configure it to use gdb as the debugger and thus "make it easier to debug errors".

thats embarassing... thanks though, I will try the IDE too thanks
Eclipse is another popular IDE, gdb supported as well (also remote debugging with gdbserver). However, with vi(m) you can do just about anything. I've also heard word emacs, but I think it's more of an operating system without decent editor, than an editor
Obsession to networking and protocols made me cook up these:
NSN - Network Status Notifier
epb - Ethernet Packet Bombardier
T.H.O.N.G.S - Textmode Helper On Network Getting Sniffed
Nibbles - console UDP print listener/filter + something else
Feel free to try, comment and improve =)
Gedit has line numbering, just go into the preferences and turn them on.
If you want a proper IDE I like netbeans.
Do yourself a favour:
1) vim
2) vim
3) vim
Vim is the most amazing and versatile piece of software of all time. They use it in the shuttle. Don't even bother with the GUI version. Just run it in a terminal, learn all the key strokes like you were playing piano and that mouse will start to seem miles away, sitting there next to some pop can or some other "instant tea" style prehensile utensil.
ps. also you might want to check out "tkcodex", it's not an editor but wow is it handy to use along side....
C programming resources:
GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
The C Book -- nice online learner guide
Current ISO draft standard
CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
While that's cool, the shuttle is hardly your typical deployment environment...
Seriously, vi or emacs are going to be your realistic choices. Both are available pretty much everywhere, vi more so than emacs. If you're going to become familiar with an editor, might as well pick one that's likely to be there on any given system.
Use emacs
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
Where's whats-his-name with the "Got Ed?" tag line? We need him to round it all off.
Use vim

Mine's smaller. You probably can't read it but it doesn't say "use emacs"
Heh.
