Missing gcc on kubuntu

Hello,

I just install Kubuntu and when i try to make / make install i get message telling me that it cant find my gcc or cc when its "checking for"

Ive done:
sudo apt-get gcc
"Invalid operation gcc..."

sudo apt-get install gcc
"Couldnt find package gcc..."

sudo apt-get build-essential
"Invalid operation build-essential..."

sudo apt-get install build-essential
"Couldnt find package build-essential..."

Any ideas on where to look for a gcc :S

I've google gcc's and am lost on what to do/get

are you connected to the net? are you trying to install from the cd? post the output of

Code:

---

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

---

my output from sources.list is all commented out. I have the cd that i used to install in my drive but i dont see any lines having to do w/ accessing the CD. I dont have an internet connection atm on my linux laptop but i will later tonight i guess ill try again and uncomment the URL's.

The thing that gets me is that under package manager it says that i have two gcc's installed.... gcc-3.3-base and gcc-4.0-base.

Any ideas what is going on?

Execute this

Code:

---

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

---

apt-get will fetch build-essential package from Installation CD and install it in your machine.
