    I'm running an Ubuntu distrib and wondering what are the best IDE (integrated with GCC and debugger) out there to develop C/C++ progs? mainly console app for the moment, but windows app in the future (GNome).

    with things like,
    • command helper (help function lookup in doc, like MSDN)
    • profiler
    • class diagram / design

    The CDT for Eclipse? Basically a C/C++ development environment on the Eclipse platform. You can get that installed on Ubuntu, I have. Though I'm not sure what compiler it uses
    linkage
    download linkage

    EDIT: yes, it uses gcc

    thanks for the input Karl.

    I've the CDT installed, it all works fine except for the contextual help for C library functions!
    I have the man pages installed for the C lib, so typing 'man 3 printf' will show the man page for the function.
    Now, in Eclipse CDT, if I select a C lib function and CTRL+F1 it opens the help window but there isnt any link to any doc!?

    hovering a C lib function like printf() will show the function def. 
    /* Write formatted output to stdout.

   This function is a possible cancellation point and therefore not
   marked with __THROW.  */
extern int printf (__const char *__restrict __format, ...);

    Any idea?

    You could try kdevelop which should be part of your distro.
