Re: [SLUG] Crossword compiler on Ubuntu, the errorfile.
Assuming you are getting these packages from a genuine ubuntu repo the short answer is enter y instead of n. The long answer is that the GPG key you have installed for verifying package signing doesn't match the new packages. You probably should do sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring. And then try the sudo apt-get install build-essential On 10/4/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Many thanks for the replies.

You've got a C compiler, but no libc6-dev package. If you install the
build-essential package, it'll install that, plus a few other packages
that will be needed.
You'll probably also need other -dev packages for assorted libraries
that your program uses. Hopefully it comes with a README or other file
telling you what it depends on.

Re: [SLUG] Crossword compiler on Ubuntu, the errorfile.
Bill,
To start any development on Ubuntu you should as a minimum install sudo
apt-get install build-essential. This installs a vritual package that drags
with it the most commonly used compilers, libraries and other assorted
utilities (like automake and autoconf) to build programs. gcc by itself can
only compile .c code into .o files, but so you still need libraries,
linkers, etc to create the executable. This is probably the source of the
error. Also check that you haven't inadvertantly used root privilege to
extract your tarball into a directory that only root can write to - you may
need to change ownership of the directory and files to your meer mortal
user.
You may also find later on that other development libraries are missing -
for example if the program needs X, KDE, Gtk etc. You can usually find these
with apt-cache search 'libdoodad.*dev'

Many thanks for the replies. I've run into something else in my quest for a crossword compiler. I ted to the internet and tried sudo apt-get install build essential and attach the log. Some of these libraries etc cannot be verified and I face the shame of having unverified material on my laptop. More advice, please. Regards, Bill Bennett.
