    weird problems with the dev environment of AMD64 Kubuntu, no problems with 386

    I have had great success with the Intel 386 version of Kubuntu, no serious problems.

    On my first, fresh instal of Kubuntu 7.10 AMD 64 version, I can not get anything to build!

    I get messages that I don't have libc and its dependencies, but I know for a fact its there!

    I can not sudo aptitude install build-essential either, its not found. And its deb file package demands more dependencies. Is there something I am missing here? I don't understand why AMD 64 Kubuntu is so different. It seems to have a totally screwed, messed up dev environment compared to the 386 version, out of the box

    Does it have anything to do with this issue?

    http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-233976.html

    or this one?

    Is a 32 bit compatibility layer necessary to build certain pakcages in AMD 64? If so, why was this not included in the install?

    Nothing is working out of the box, and it baffles me as I did not have any of these problems building from source on 386 intel Kubuntu.

    thanks in advance if you have any idea what is going on... its not hardware, i am using am HP Tx1000z which has been used on ubuntu as here:

    What does /etc/apt/sources.list look like?

      it says this over and over:

      #Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify
      #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted

      two other versions have "multiverse" and "universe" in the message....instead of 'main'...

        That's all you have? They all begin with a #?
        There's your problem.

          I don't understand. How did this happen? and why? I have found ubuntu to function perfectly on 386. Do I need to reinstall entirely now?

          I am not familiar with this file until now that you show it to me, thank you very much for doing so.

          I can't get internet access on this machine until I can build ndiswrappers. On the intel version, apt-get was working and I got the dev tools I needed from the kubuntu install cd.


          Do I need to add a line to make apt look on the install cd for build-essential? look locally?

            Something probably went wrong during the upgrade. Just use the utility I linked to and replace /etc/apt/sources.list with what that utility spits out. (Alt-F2 > "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list" > Copy, paste, save.)

              i'll give it a try, thanks. it appears kubuntu does not install with these dev tools by default? is this so?

                I tried what you suggested, and it made no difference. I still can not get apt to pull build-essential from the kubuntu install cd, which worked perfectly in the intel 386 version of kubuntu.

                    I reinstalled with 386 Kubuntu, and I have zero problems. smooth sailing!

                    even the install on AMD64 was freezing a lot and was slow.

                    thanks for the help!
