I just installed Kubuntu (the newest version) on my laptop, and now I'm trying to install a nesC compiler onto it. I've used Linux before, but I wouldn't say I'm proficient at it. First, I tried searching in the Adept Package Manager for anything to do with tinyos or nesc, but there wasn't anything. I found the website 5secondfuse.com and followed the instructions there to install TinyOS: added a lot of repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list, then typed
sudo apt-get install cvs subversion autoconf automake1.9 python-dev sudo apt-get install g++ g++-3.4 gperf swig sun-java5-jdk graphviz alien fakeroot These all worked. Then, the next line, sudo apt-get install tinyos-msp430 tinyos-avr told me that package tinyos-msp430 couldn't be found. I tried the line without tinyos-msp430, and it said tinyos-avr couldn't be found either. I remembered seeing an e-mail to the list regarding a similar problem, so I found the e-mail and did what it said. I can't seem to find the e-mail right now, but it included adding one line to sources.list which was similar to deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu feisty main and then trying to install a package like libc-tinyos-msp430. This package couldn't be found either. Finally, I tried to download the source code for a nesC compiler off of sourceforge.com. The instructions in the INSTALL file said to type ./configure make and then some more stuff, but my computer refused to "make", saying something like "Error: C compiler cannot create executables." If anyone could help me get around any of these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.
