 Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 12:35 am Post subject: GCC installation issues |
 |
|
I've been running Xandros for a whopping 2 weeks, and it's my first Linux platform, so I have no clue what's going on. I'm trying to install GCC.
COMPUTER:~# apt-get install gcc
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
gcc is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up gaim (2.0.0beta1-1) ...
chown: `mark:mark': invalid user
chown: `mark:mark': invalid user
dpkg: error processing gaim (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
gaim
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? |

What are you trying to fix 
Seems that gcc is installed by the messages that you are getting per a failed attempt to install.
Go to a console "Xterm"
type
whereis gcc
then
gcc -v
what do you see.

Your problem is not gcc. Its gaim that you have tried to install at some point and failed. Try this to clean up your system
apt-get -f remove gaim
Regarding GCC, its already installed in your system according to your printouts. |

I removed gaim, and here are the comands that I was told to run...
COMPUTER:~# whereis gcc
gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
COMPUTER:~# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/specs

Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-
I didn't go to a console "Xterm", because I don't know how to find any file on it other then the "read only" one.

The above means that gcc is working.

Yes you did, actually. Otherwise, how did you enter the above commands (whereis and gcc). You'll see it a lot on Linux forums and web sites... when we say "go to an xterm" or something like that, we simply mean to go to a place where you can enter commands, and it looks like you know how to do that. Many programs emulate the original xterm program. Like konsole and gnome-terminal. You can also go to a straight console screen ala CTRL+F1 ... CTRL+F6. All these are equivalent to "xterm" in function. |

He probably used Konsole. Remember? KDE? Anyone home?? 
There's no reason for a newbie to dig up Xterm or a hardware-mapped terminal screen to compile stuff.

The point was that there's no difference. Going to xterm or going to whatever equivalent program like gnome-terminal is the same thing. How else will you compile stuff? |

But this is Xandros. The only obvious shell is Konsole.

The shell is bash, that's the point, so the commands and usage are the same no matter what terminal emulator you use. Bash is the shell, and konsole is the terminal emulator that presents it to you, or you can use xterm or whatever. This applies not only to Xandros but any Linux system. |

All I see is
xandros:~# whereis gcc
gcc:
So what do I do next?

You install gcc next. Open the Xandros Networks application, type 'development' in the Search box and click the Search button. It should find "C/C++ Development Tools." Click the install button next to it. While you're at it, you might also want to install "Debian Development Tools" and "KDE Development Tools."
It might also be good to tell us what you are trying to compile, and maybe somebody has already done the work for you and can provide you with an easy to install DEB file instead.
