unable to compile

[ralph4100]

Trying to compile a file for the first time...


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)... no
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no

I guess this means I haven't installed a compiler? (brand new to linux).

Could someone point me in the right direction?

sudo apt-get install build-essential
