C++ Compiler?

I need a good one for Linux, I tried using Kdevelop, but it gives me a bunch of errors when I try to get it working(basically just telling me to change the dir in a conf file to whereever it is installed, but I dunno where emerge installed it to) So KDevelop is out, any others? I'd like to be able to see if this code I made works or not and then work out the bugs, but kinda hard when I can only look over it in a text editor(I'm really liking this kate editor that I got when I installed KDE, but anyone know any other nice editors with syntax highlighting and the such?)

Thanks guys.

Sword_Gun, he asked for a compiler, not an IDE/compiler

well actually, and IDE would be nice... guess I asked for the wrong thing? Does Dev-C++ work in linux? I'm pretty sure that is windows...

I think they made one for Linux, and windows.

Check it out.

What about a Linux version?
There was a Linux version, but it has been abandoned, mainly because Dev-C++ is written in Delphi, but the Linux version of Delphi (Kylix) wasn't as promising as it should have been. But there are excellent alternative IDEs for Linux, such as KDevelop and Anjuta. If I have to choose between those two, I would choose for Anjuta. Though personally I don't use an IDE at all, just messing around with 3 terminals and gEdit with autoident.

I don't think they have made a linux version anyways, I'm going to try anjuta(installing right now

)
