No development packages in default Ubuntu installation

[jcgp]

After a default Ubuntu installation, trying to compile an application produced the error lines below, so it is pretty clear that not even the standard C library headers were installed. How can I install all these development packages, including C, X, Gtk, OpenGL/Mesa etc.?

installing build-essential package should give you gcc and some other stuff.
The other development files you need to find yourself. They are usually called something-dev.
Good luck!

Ok,
I installed all the library and header files I needed to compile GAMGI, this is now up and running. In fact I was quite pleased that Ubuntu 7.10 even comes with GtkglArea 1.

I found out that libXmu (X miscellaneous utilities) was not found. A quick look into /usr/lib64 showed the problem, no link to libXmu.so:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 101992 2007-07-24 09:00 libXmu.so.6.2.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13800 2007-07-24 09:00 libXmuu.so.1.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-12-05 11:19 libXmuu.so.1 -> libXmuu.so.1.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-12-05 11:19 libXmu.so.6 -> libXmu.so.6.2.0

I just added this link manually, with:

sudo ln -s libXmu.so.6 libXmu.so

and libXmu is now recognized. So I guess everyone compiling X applications on Ubuntu 7.10 on xf86_64 might be hit by this minor bug?

Thanks for your quick answer!
