build-essential installation

[i_ubun89]

I've been trying to install build essential on my wubi using synaptic manager and the live cd.. but whenever i click on install, it pops a message, asking me to insert the disk labeled 'ubuntu 9.0_karmic_koala release i386 (20091028.5)', even after i've inserted the cd.

i tried mounting the cd manually, using:

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom0 /media/cdrom

and got the following error:
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write protected;
mounting read only

i tried this as well:

/dev/scd0/media/cdrom0 auto user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

and got:
bash: /dev/scd0: permission denied

Also, i don't have internet on my machine. What do i do?

Did you enable the UbuntuCD in Synaptic/Settings/Repositories?

[i_ubun89]

i did...

...might be a wubi problem then.
Btw,linux without internet is a sad story...

If you have access to another machine with internet, you can try Keryx. http://keryxproject.org

i tried kerix.. i downloaded build-essential in another machine... but when i try installing it in my machine, it still looks for an internet connection.
