At a minimum, you need: * libc6-dev * gcc (or egcc) For anything more complex than something printing 'Hello, World!', you need to install quite a few others. It simply depends on the program you're trying to compile. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
