Well if you are using wincvs on windows, http://www.wincvs.org/download.html has gCvs which is apparently the linux version of it.
I personally use emacs for all code editing and comand line stuff to build the binaries so I won't be able to help with kdevelop or any of the other gui type IDE's

I download all gCvs and i don't know how to install. the programme don't want to start.

and another think too i download the sdk 1.3 installer for linux. no probleme for the install, but when i go on the exemple folder and i click on the icon to start, nothing happen. i use Ubuntu 5.10 ( is a debian mod of linux)
thanks

Daniel, the easiest way to download the stuff off of CVS, is to use it through a console, and not UI, for me anyway.

first CD to the directory
then cvs

You probably downloaded the rpm packaged version which won't install directly on ubuntu, your best bet to get that installed would be to use the ubuntu package stuff to install the version they packaged up.

Its in there, in the Development -> Universe group.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto

Tells you how to get to the package management thing.

Keep in mind I don't use Ubuntu.

Now the other bit, if you are going to use cvs, you will be on the bleeding edge so expect to bleed quite a bit. Things may not even build out of the cvs. There are more then likely bugs and other associated fun in there.

Do a search on the forum on how to use kdevelop to build torque (I know I saw it once or twice) or open a terminal window, cd to wherever you installed torque, and type:

make -f mk/configure.mk OS=LINUX COMPILER=GCC3 BUILD=DEBUG (or RELEASE)
then
make

after a bit it will copy the resulting binary to the example directory and it should work from there.

Once again, unless you are really comfortable with linux and programing with linux I would stay away from cvs till you get some more knowledge.
