    gcc configuration

    I'm using kubuntu dapper.

    I'm trying to install some packages from source, but gcc won't do
    anything for me.
    I also write very simple c programs from time to time.

    What do I have to install or configure to get it to cooperate?

    Here's what happens:

    bigbird@sananda:~/installs/ico2xpm-1.1$ ./configure
    creating cache ./config.cache
    checking for gcc... gcc
    checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
    configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
    cannot create executables.

    I can't even find an stdio.h on my system!

    gcc 3.4 and 4.0 packages are installed.

    Help appreciated.

          In this case, I'd suspect your package management of being in a state of disorder ...

          You may issue the following command and post the resulting output for inspection:

          Code:
          sudo apt-get update

              It may have completed successfully, but without the output it isn't possible for us to tell whether you have the necessary repositories configured.

                      Hey, that's pretty cool; with this list of (un-) available repositories, your updates must be amazingly fast

                      O.k., for serious: you've factually blocked the package manager's access to every single repository. (A "#" at the beginning of a line reading "deb" or "deb-src" means "forget it" ...).

                      You may replace your list by the following one, thus giving APT a fair chance:

                      Code:
                      deb [url]http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] dapper main restricted

                        Re: gcc configuration

                        I tried but I got:

                        ERROR:The document could not be saved,as it was not possible to write to file:///etc/apt/sources.list.
                        Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available.

                        I tried to change permissions but I couldn't,maybe you could tell me that chmod command,I don't know the syntax,so I can change the permissions from terminal

                        Thanx

                          Do not change the properties of a system-related file unless you know exactly what you're doing!

                          Instead, access the file by means of an editor launched in root mode, as for examply by:

                          - "run" command: [Alt][F2] kdesu kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
                          - console ("konsole") session: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

                            I did "chmod 775 etc","chmod 777 apt" and replaced sources.list with what was mentioned above but it still doesn't find that build essential..
                            Question:Is it necessary to have Internet access in kubuntu while doing all this? ??

                              It is - that's where the repositories (that contain the software) are.

                              You can try adding this line to sources.list

                              Code:
                              deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 6.06.1 _Dapper Drake_ - Release i386 (20060807.1)]/ dapper main restricted
                              and making sure the cd is available

                              FYI:
                              To edit system files type
                              Code:
                              kdesu kate
                              into the 'run command' box, on the k-menu.
                              It will open a text editor with superuser privileges. ** Be Careful With It **

                              Good Luck!
