Hi Mohan: Ubuntu has 'apt' or Advanced Packaging Tool which can fetch required packages from the ubuntu repositories and install them on your machine. The only question then is, what are the package names and how to install them. You need to run the following command on shell prompt. shell> sudo apt-get install gcc build-essential If you just get 'gcc', then while running gcc you would get an error saying that standard libraries are lacking. By fetching both the packages the issue is addressed. thanks Saifi.
