Need help installing an application

I recently purchased "programming developement kit for linux.I am very new to the linux o.s and am currently using
version 5.0.I have attempted to single out the c-forge app
for I cant find a way to install the "complete kit" which has some nice features.Ive located and executed an install file from the c-forge directory.Doing so displayed error messages pertaining to dependencies.I take it that i need
certain files that i dont have:
lincurse.so.4          -- libstdc++ -6.1-1.so.2
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0)  --  libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
QUESTIONS:
 Do I need just one or all of these files to satisfy the
dependencies?
 If I need all are they can contained in a single package?
 If one or all where can find these files?
Last but not least a personal suggestion as to what I should do?
Im currently thinking about purchasing a different distrubution of course something a little more up to date
I d greatly appreciate some answers and suggestions.
Thanks for the time,
