Re: gcc configuration

You may try to install one of the .deb available from this server:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...ild-essential/

However, this is merely a wild guess - no guarantees given ...

Re: gcc configuration

I downloaded these:
1)build-essential_11.3_amd64.deb
2)bulid-essential_10.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
kubuntu is on my AMD Turion64 laptop and I'll load these files with my USB flash
Any ideas for how to install them?

Once they are "on board" your laptop, you may right-click on one of them to access the file's context menu, out of this select Package Menu > Install Package and proceed as requested (keeping your fingers crossed ...).

Re: gcc configuration

I did keep my fingers crossed but this came out:
dpkg:error in processing system:/media/sda1/build-essential_10.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--install)
cannot access file:no such file or directory
Errors while processing:
system:/media/sda1/build-essential_10.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--install)

What now?

Re: gcc configuration

cannot access file:no such file or directory

I'd suggest to copy the files to your laptop's own harddisk before attempting to install from them (thus assuming that /media/sda1 refers to the usb stick you're using for transfer ...).

The problem with just downloading just the build-essential package is that it's just a meta-package (a package that depends on other packages, for easy installation of those packages), so you actually need those dependencies.

Luckily (all) the build-essential packages are available from the installation CDs (for the purposes you might not get online without them)...they are available from the liveCD and alternateCD alike, just add that CD as a repository with:

sudo apt-cdrom add

(with the CD in the drive)

Remember to refresh the package lists after adding the cd with:

sudo apt-get update

or clicking 'Fetch Updates' in Adept

I knew that I missed something ...
