Re: Where is GCC in Xubuntu?

Thanks Matt, I would have never guessed that command combination.

I tried your suggestion out. It appears that apt-get requires the PC on which the installation is occurring to be connected to the Internet. Unfortunately, it isn't connected.

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.

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
