gcc cannot find stdio.h library?

[snoman]

I'm having a slight problem. I recently installed Ubuntu on both my laptop and desktop. Being a fairly proficient programmer in C/C++, I have been writing programs on my desktop and compiling with gcc with no problems.

My problem is, when I try to compile the same code on my laptop, or even just simple programs, gcc chokes and tells me that it cannot find stdio.h. The precise error is "error: stdio.h: No such file or directory". I've tried updating gcc, hoping that that would fix the problem, but it has gotten me nowhere. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Have you installed the build-essential package?

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick.

Do you still have problems after following the instructions above?

:guitar: sudo apt-get install build-essential

I had to run 'sudo apt-get install update' before that so it would work, just an FYI

You mean, "sudo apt-get update", don't you?
