hi im new to C++ and im using a mac os x 10.3.9. can anyone suggest a
compiler so that i can learn c++ and successfully run a program. i

dev c++ at school)

Hi,

I'd suggest gcc (http://gcc.gnu.org/), that's what Dev-Cpp uses
internally as compiler and it is, according to my experience, a pretty
good free compiler.

But note that failure to compile your Dev-Cpp programs might also stem
from using Microsoft Windows specific code there and then you'll have to
change them even whhen using gcc as compiler.

Cheers,
Daniel

That's also what Apple's Xcode uses internally.
