Problem with GCC install

[LuisGCC]

I`m trying install Debian squeeze, I can`t make a wireless conection during instalation, so I can't get internet with the machine running, so I get no acces to repository.
I need gcc to install the drivers of wifi. I get the files to install gcc with my ubuntu machine, both are on the same computers. I install the libraries, the make file, but when try to installa gcc-4.4 I can not do it.
Synaptic don't works.
The file I can not install is "gcc_4.4.5-1_i386.deb"

Thanks

I am afraid you also need several other things to compile the code.....
build-essential, headers, etc.....................

I usually install:
gettext
ddd
ddd-doc
gdb
gdbserver
eclipse
checkinstall
along with the Headers & build-essential

So, your best bet is to find someone with an Ethernet connection and use
Synaptics Package manager to install what is needed.

Debian packages depend on other packages to work correctly. If you don't have the packages which GCC depends on, it will not install. It is important to have a working network connection so "synaptic" or "apt-get" can automatically download the missing packages and successfully install.

You can also ask a different debian computer with network access to download all of the Debain packages necessary to install GCC, then copy the downloaded package files to a USB memory, then install GCC using "dpkg" on the computer that has no network connection using the packge files on the USB memory. But this is difficult and time consuming.

It is just better connect to Ethernet and have Synaptic or Apt-Get do install GCC for you.

Are you having system access from any Unix system?

I have Ubuntu 10.10. running on another patition of my laptop.

I have instaled "firmware-realtek_0.28_all.deb", it`s the firmware of my wireless card.
I modified the file "etc/network/interfaces

# wireless network
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
wireless_essid LuisCasa
wireless_channel 6
wireless_mode managed
wireless_keymode WPE
wireless_key1 millavehexadecimal
wireless_key2 s:2503912411610
wireless_defaultkey 1

When the machine start I can see on the screen how try to get the router but it can not get it.
Maybe could be easy configure the wifi.
How can I know if the wireless card is working properly?

Thanks

Sorry, the last question should've been 'do you have internet access from any unix system?'.

I have ubuntu 10.10 running on another partition of my laptop with internet connection.

Can you post the output of "dmesg" and "ifconfig", or give us some other information about how your network is configured?

dmesg > ~/to-linux-forums.txt
ifconfig >> ~/to-linux-forums.txt
gzip ~/to-linux-forums.txt

(then post the "to-linux-forums.txt.gz" here?)

I have ubuntu 10.10 running on another partition of my laptop with internet connection.

You have to chroot into you Debian install, first mount the partition, for e.g. in /mnt/debian

Then (all as root)

cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/debian/etc/resolv.conf
chroot /mnt/debian /bin/bash

The prompt should change.. you're now in your Debian system, from here install build essential -

aptitude install build-essential

That's about it.

If you don't understand a few steps, do notify.

Ok, dE_logics,
I understand, I can get into my debian system trougth Ubuntu. That's rigth?
So in that way, can I update my debian machine with...
apt-get update
apt get install

One of the reason I need the wireless conexion is to update debian.
