Re: Where is GCC in Xubuntu?

I have just installed Xubuntu on my PC from the LiveCD, the image of which
I downloaded. But to my surprise there appears to be no gcc, make, etc
available from the command line in a terminal window on the installed
system. However, the information that I have read suggests that GCC 4.1 is
part of the Xubuntu 6.06.1 from which I would expect to see gcc, g++,
gfortran, gcj, etc to be present. Can somebody tell me where they are
hidden. I find it hard to use a Linux system without tools such as C and
make.

Ross

try sudo apt-get install build-essential

ubuntu (and xubuntu too I presume) copies the packages to the disk by
default but doesn't install them.

hope this helps
