ok i seem to have a bit of a paradox here. i ran a check and found that i don't have build-essential. and on the particular machine i'm working with, there isn't an internet connection, so how am i to compile the source code of build-essential without build-essential?
just to make sure i'm not reading the out put wrong i checked with:
sudo aptitude install build-essentialand the out put i got was:
reading package lists...done
building dependency tree...done
reading state information...done
initializing package states...done
couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "build-essential"
