Installing Programs

[Mr_Welfare]

One last thing,

I have downloaded a .tar.gz file. I followed the instructions here to install it.

http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware.php

When I get to the ./configure partof the process, the terminal's output reads:

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Then when I try make or sudo make install, the output reads:

bash: make: command not found

What does this mean and how would I go about installing this program.

Note: The program I am trying to install is superkaramba-0.39

Re: Installing Programs

I installed the package gcc in Adept. Now when I try ./configure I get this

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for -p flag to install... yes

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

make and make install still don't work. Am I missing more packages?

Installing Software in Ubuntu
4. Installing from source

The first thing you'll have to do in Ubuntu is install a meta-package called build-essential (a meta-package isn't a real package--it's a pointer that tells Synaptic/Adept/aptitude to install a bunch of other real packages):

Did you ?

Note: You can install superkaramba from the repositories. No need to compile from source.

Re: Installing Programs

Ah. No I didn't. It's installing now. As for installing superkaramba from the repositories, that worked nicely.

Thanks for the help,
