In Debian gcc is still just the GNU C Compiler and not the GNU Compiler Collection as one might expect from upstream's name, so installing gcc won't pull in any g++ parts (dpkg -S cc1plus). > Regardless, can anyone point me at a reasonable way to get the development > environment set up?

I personally prefer to hand-pick everything I need instead of installing some devel task... The meta package "gcc", for instance, suggests make, manpages-dev, autoconf, automake, libtool, flex, bison, gdb and gcc-doc, which is quite a good start. If you also want to package for Debian there is still the package "build-essential". Cheers, Flo
