[Forum Rules]   Back to Forum Thread List Equinox   Posted 24th Apr 2006 5:28pm L4Y Member Post 372 / 468 Hey. I have come back (as this is the only forum on the net that I know I could possibly get an answer in) to ask a question about Ubuntu Linux. I've installed Ubuntu 5.10 from the official cd on a fresh 19 gig partition with a 1 gig swap drive. I need to install gcc so that I can compile WINE in order to emulate various software that I would still like to use but Windows is unable to support. gcc doesn't seem to be installed when I install Ubuntu so I downloaded (or thought I did) all the files that are needed to install it through Synaptic but when I come to the Add Application menu it is not in there. I am probably going about this the wrong way being a complete Linux n00b and I would really, really like some help on it. Summary: Need help installing gcc on Ubuntu 5.10 in order to compile WINE. The site seems to have grown a lot since my last visit (it took me several minutes to remember my password) and its nice to see new sections (particually BFMEII). There are so many new users as well, so I guess hardly anyone will remember me.

I know very little about the command line, I can change directories and thats about it. EDIT: I can also enter other commands (as in a supposed tutorial to install gcc) but if it doesn't work I have no idea why, I don't know that much about Linux commands and file structures.    Modified Apr 24th, 05:46pm by Equinox SkipRat    Posted 24th Apr 2006 5:55pm Post 1488 / 3024 Theres forums on the Ubuntu website.... those are normaly good. Meh...     nightstrike   Posted 24th Apr 2006 6:56pm L4Y Member Post 292 / 406 You usually have to run a something like that through something else for it too work...but when you go to the forums on that site,it might help It's what happens when Alex Trebek has a picture of a giraffe in his a** during an earthquake!     Equinox   Posted 25th Apr 2006 10:17am L4Y Member Post 374 / 468 I'm trying the Unbuntu formums now but i'm not having much luck. EDIT: Cheers for the help, i've switched to Suse 10.0 which is working out far better for me.    Modified Apr 27th, 11:02am by Equinox
