Re: Help with gcc and objective c

[Jim Balhoff]

Does Mandrake not have an objective-c package available?  I use RedHat, 
which doesn't install objective-c by default either, but they have a 
separate RPM which will easily add it.  It's called something like 
gcc-objc.  They do it the same way for c++.
