I am currently trying to install a driver for a USB internet connection on Ubuntu, but I keep getting an error message when I try compiling it. I go to the directory of the code, and type "./configure" and it starts doing something:
"Checking for gcc... gcc
Checking for c compiler, default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
see 'config.log' for more details"
In the config log the following is written:
(sorry, but I think the spacing was lost transferring the log from Ubuntu to windows)
"This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by dlansoftware configure v3, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57. Invocation command line was
$ ./configure

I saw on some thread somewhere that I need to install a compiler program, by typing something like "sudo apt-get install build-essential" but after typing this in the terminal, and putting in my password, it did some stuff but it didn't fix the compiler (if you want to see what it says when I run this ask)
Other stuff I heard I need to do in install g++ (or something) a program called kernel-headers(or something) and something else but without the internet I can't use the add or remove programs tool and I'm not sure how else to go about it.
Any help you can give me for this problem will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
