I'm not on CNC version of 8.04 right now so I can't tell if C compiler is installed or not. 'gcc -v' would tell you that. You don't need the compiler in most cases unless you "play with the source code." One way to go solve such a problem is this: become root and run apt-cache search libstdc++ libstdc++5 - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 libstdc++5-3.3-dbg - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (debugging files) libstdc++5-3.3-dev - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (development files) libstdc++5-3.3-doc - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (documentation files) I created a bunch of aliases for apt-?? to minimize typing alias agd='apt-get dist-upgrade' alias agfb='apt-get --fix-broken' alias agfm='apt-get --fix-missing' alias agg='apt-get upgrade ' alias agi='apt-get install ' alias agr='apt-get remove' alias agu='apt-get update ' alias asv='apt-show-versions -p' and got so used to it that have to think about the command alias substitutes. acse libstdc++ returns libstdc++5 and libstdc++5-3.3-dev among others. It's very likely that one of these two libraries is needed to compile the program. Installing them might pull in additional dependencies which is OK. Can't test right now as I'm on a standard 8.04 LTS system. agi libstdc++5 libstdc++5-3.3-dev should install them. Then you try run make again. Depending on errors you try search for whatever else is missing. It's a lot of fun, or not, depending on how cold it is in your machine shop. Well designed projects are documented and tell you what's needed to compile them.
