Hi folks. Just wondering if anyone has any recomendations for an html editor for Linux?

All I ask from it is a default document template that I can set up, syntax highlighting and it being free.

Anyone?

HTML-Kit has some Linux Support (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/support/docs/pages/h000134.html)

Depends if you're running RedHat Linux or not

Yeah I already checked that out. I don't have Red Hat. I'm on SuSE. I'd prefer a native program though, otherwise i'd just run araneae through wine. Thanks for the suggestion at least though. ;)

Well, I know one person who uses Bluefish (http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html) Says it's good, never tried it myself, though....

Bugger. Can't use it for the same reason I can't use apache. I don't have GNU make or gcc, therefore I can't install it. :(

What? You have to compile programs or something?
Stephen Philbin

Yup. I need a C compiler, but I don't have one, so I need to install one. So I downloaded one but you need to assemble it with GNU make. Guess what.... yup. I don't have GNU make. So I download GNU make aaaaaaaand... you need to compile it with a C compiler before you can install it! ARGH!!

Wait, so can't you simply download a binary GNU make?

Maybe. I guess I'm just to stupid to know how to find a binary version for my system and give it a permanent home on the computer.

Check out Quanta Plus (http://quanta.sourceforge.net/). It seems very similar to HTML-kit or 1st Page on Windows.

I think I'd better just go buy SuSE professional. I'm missing way too much stuff on this one. No Apache, no GNU make, no gcc and no Bzip (which almost all non Red Hat versions of Quanta are zipped in). I don't even see a SuSE 1386 version there actually. Argh!!

You could always head over to http://linuxforum.com/ and ask them what html editor you can install. There's probably a particular version of the software that you need. e.g. on RedHat 9 I needed Bluefish 0.7, as opposed to the current 0.13, as it doesn't have the latest gtk.

One of the first threads I came to had the core of my problem posted right there:

linux:/home/vladx/Documents/lftp-3.0.3 # ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.


Looks like I should hopefully be able to take it from here. Thanks guys and sorry for keep bunging up this forum with linux questions. :o
