Try this instead: sudo apt-get install build-essential or was it sudo apt-get install build-essentials You should not need to install gcc, make, etc manually. build-essential should do it for you -- Please don't send me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Re: Toolchain on Ubuntu 7.10
I didn't see anything on the wiki regarding repositories. In fact, this is what I suspected to be the problem. What repositories should be added to the base installation. I simply installed from the Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop CD and have done no additional configuration. I'd like to update the wiki to include instructions for starting from a basic fresh installation and getting the entire toolchain built. Thanks for your help. -- Forwarded message -- From: Frederik Sdun [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: List for Openmoko community discussion community@lists.openmoko.org Date: Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:06:18 +0200 Subject: Re: Toolchain on Ubuntu 7.10 Hi, have you changed your repositories and reload the paket list? you might remove the cdrom and add at least the main repository in settings-Repositiories and click on the upper left reload button. if you have still problems ask in your local IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. regards, frederik Am Dienstag, den 08.04.2008, 21:40 -0500 schrieb Dale Schumacher: I've just done a clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 and am trying to follow the instructions from the Toolchain wiki page.

Re: Toolchain on Ubuntu 7.10
i'm not on an ubuntu box now, but try automake1.9 instead of automake, i think that's the newest version 2008/4/9 Dale Schumacher [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've just done a clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 and am trying to follow the instructions from the Toolchain wiki page.

Re: Toolchain on Ubuntu 7.10
apt-cache search autoconf will show possible packages that contain the string autoconf. apt-cache show packagename will give you a description of the package.

Re: Toolchain on Ubuntu 7.10
Hi, have you changed your repositories and reload the paket list? you might remove the cdrom and add at least the main repository in settings-Repositiories and click on the upper left reload button. if you have still problems ask in your local IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. regards, frederik Am Dienstag, den 08.04.2008, 21:40 -0500 schrieb Dale Schumacher: I've just done a clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 and am trying to follow the instructions from the Toolchain wiki page.
