From an earlier post you made I'm guessing you use Windows, so try http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

If you are interested in an IDE for other languages try http://www.google.com

gcc.

Yeah, right.. MinGW then.
Oh yeah. Cygwin would even be more comfortable.

POSIX for life

gcc is a development tool, too? Last I checked, it was a front end for languages like c, c++ and such.

And yes, devcpp is very nice.

GCC is a compiler for C/C++, which makes it a development tool..

Hmm, I may have used a too limited definition of the word 'development tool'. IDE would have been more to the point. My bad.

I highly recommend Eclipse. It is by far the best free IDE. Check it out: http://eclipse.org/

Eclipse rocks. But it's more suitable for Java development, though there's a plugin for C dev. I haven't tried it yet, is it good?

I just use it for Java, but I am sure the C/C++ plugins are mature enough so that there is no noticable difference.
