I am new to this environment and I am lost. I am using Ubuntu 7.10

error: C compiler cannot create executables
Is this an error caused by not having the Gnome-xml library
installed? If it is, how do I install it? I've been out to the
xmlsoft.org <http://xmlsoft.org> site and have come across several
.rpm's. Which of these am I after and how do I install it / where do
I put it?
Also, because I am attempting to mod an SMSC driver (I have not
changed any code yet), I first attempted to simply run make and I got
the following error:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
In all of the documentation I have looked at I cannot see that I need
to provide any args to "make" to compile this. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Hi Tony,
You need to install the package "build-essential" on Ubuntu 7.10 in case
you want to compile any package from source.
just hit "apt-get install build-essential" and repeat the process.
Regards.
