Tried to install a program, this is what I got after running sudo ./configure from the unzipped package directory:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

According to synaptic GCC 3.3 and 3.4 are installed. I don't know beans about programming so I thought I put a query in this forum. Thanks for any help.

You need to install build-essential.

It is one package that brings in all you need.

I went through steps to install GnuCash with the C compiler erroras well. I used the build essential command and still am getting errors. The latest is telling me possibly GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: GLIB>= 2,4 is required to build Gnucash; please make sure you have the development headers installed.

How do I install the latest GLIB?
