cant compile

[ubunting]

I am new to linux, I downloaded a few compilers for c/C++ but i cant make any of them to work, i get the error "cant find make" is it because those are for kde only and im using gnome, or is it something else i'm missing...

thank you

If you apt-get install build-essential, it should pull in the compilers and everything else you need.

im sorry, but i've been with linux for less than a week, what is the exact command to do that?

It's

sudo apt-get install build-essential
Be sure to enable the needed repositories, you can do it through Synaptic or manually editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file. Details here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu), or here (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources.php) and also here (http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing.html).

Some would recommend aptitude instead.


sudo aptitude install build-essential
