    build-essential

    How long does it normally take "build-essential" to get set up? Mine has been working for about a half-hour now. Thanks, theAdmiral

    You know, for as many people who use Synaptic it sure is taking a long time to answer this question. This frustrated newbie could use some help here, lest I be convinced to ditch Kubuntu altogether.

      I think my computer froze in the process of doing the "build-essential" thing. How do I know if it is true? If it is true, how do I stop it? If it is not true, again, how long does the "build-essential" take to set up? Thanks

        Assuming a hung process, then:

        Open a console and type:
        Code:
        sudo dpkg --configure -a
        should fix it, else continue with
        Code:
        sudo apt-get clean
        Code:
        sudo apt-get update
        Code:
        sudo apt-get install
        Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007
