install development enviroment

Hi,

I  have a basic Arch system up and running provided by my host. I want to now install gcc development packages to enable me to compile software for source.

Is there an easy way to install these packages such as a install script

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: install development enviroment

Thanks for that.

mirrors.kernel.org is down. Where is the actual script file located so I can edit the file to change the url to an alternative location?
