How come when I try to install the build-essential packages it says I don't have make, gcc, or g++. But I know I have those. And when I try zsnes it says I don't have glx, But I'm pretty sure I do. How can I fix this.

We need more information.

1. What is zsnes ?

2. What versions of gcc, g++, etc.... do you have?

3. What program are you using to install software?

4. What is the exact error message your getting?

Super Nintendo, actually. </nitpick>

Mazehero55: You're using Synaptic? apt-get? Aptitude?

sudo -i dpkg

The proper command would be 'sudo aptitude install zsnes', or 'sudo aptitude install build-essential'. Either way, it fetches everything for you.
