help with compile errors

[DFord425]

I am getting compile errors in the C standard libaries, like stdio.h for example and others. Does anyone know what i can do to fix this other than going into the .h files and changing them (im getting a lot of errors)

Without a log file it's a bit hard to figure out. Can you post log file?

Definitely post the error messages before tying something invasive like editing a system header. Also this problem is similar to issues people have had when the build essential package was not installed.

Verify that you have the build-essential package: sudo dpkg -l | grep build-essential

If the query returns nothing, or an explicitly uninstalled package state, run 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'
