I am currently using RedHat Linux and a newbie to Linux world as well. I didn't install the development packages when I installed the OS. Now I need to compile some source codes that I downloaded from the net. How can I re-install the development packages without re-install the whole OS?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

1. Mount your RedHat install CD.
2. In a shell, go to the RPMS directory
3. rpm -ivh gcc*rpm
4. rpm -ivh libstdc++*rpm

That should do it. It might get you a bit more then you need, but it should work.
