Check the first link below for a list of Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and their cost. The first table lists IDEs for C, lots of free ones. I'd recommend Sun's NetBeans C/C++ pack for NetBeans IDE 5.5/6.0.





There is an open source C IDE for the Palm hand-held platform called Onboard Suite (see second link below).





There are several free open source C editors (see the third link below) that do not include compilers.
Reply:In the 'buntu repositories is KDevelop which includes the IDE for C/C++. Make sure you also have "build essential" which includes gcc C libraries. In fact, I would peruse the Programming Talk section in the Ubuntu forums. Me? I like Python whenever I'm faced with C development. A lot of the Ubuntu desktop and its programs were written with Python.
