Kubuntu - configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

[chemicalvamp]

I just recently installed KUBUNTU (breezy) abd i want to install more games and programs. I went to linux.org for some game and program .tars (tar.tar tar.bz2 tar.gz). After i downloaded them i burned them to a cd.

When i got the cd home i copied all the tars to /home/keith/desktop/installs

While trying to figure out how to install them i extracted them all to /home/keith/desktop/sorces/(individual sub folders)

In a previos post (when i was using gentoo) somebody taught me how to use ./configure , make , make install

So after messing around i found the terminal and opened it on the folder FreeReign-0.2.1
so it looked like this: keith@ubuntu:~/desktop/sorces/freereign-0.2.1 $./configure
loading cache ./configure.cache
----------------------
--FreeReign version 0.2.1
----------------------
checking whether make sets (s or $?){MAKE} ... no
checking for gcc ... no
checking got cc ... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

and this happens to all my packages, even when i try to update my kdebase, or install kdetoys....

what do i do?!... am i trying to use the wrong install command for my distro?

sudo apt-get install gcc

should sort it out.

Have the same problem but when i use apt-get it tells me " Couldn't find package gcc ".

What should i do ? :S
