libs

[sahid2080]

hi i was just wondering if there was a package that includes all the lib files such as lobc6,libgcc1,libglu etc etc, because i dont want to spend all this time downloading each one, one by one, please help

meta-package 'build-essential' contains all the dev libraries.

If you are running Debian and using apt-get, I think it should be something like:

apt-get install build-essential

Thank you but you see i do not have a internet connection hooked up to the laptop, so i canot run apt-get, i do have apt-get and dpkg but i need to install everything manualy, i use my desktop(winXP) to download stuff and put it on a flash drive and then put the flash on the laptop to trasfer stuff, so if you could just give me a link that would be great thank you

You should be able to find it at the Debian Packages website:

Debian -- Packages

Do you have installation CD? build-essential package is available in Installation CD/DVD.
Execute this

su
apt-cdrom add
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential
