    Please check for package gcc

    You are getting this error because gcc is not installed in your system. I guess you are using Ubuntu . If yes then please insert your ubuntu installation cd on cd room . Go to pool folder on your cd rom. Check for package gcc . Just double click on package and it will install. If any error then please post your error.

    or perhaps it would be easier to open a terminal and type
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install gcc
    Ubuntu Jaunty :: Arch Linux (current) :: Acer Aspire 1692WMLi

    Please check error message again. C Compiler is installed and some Dev packages are missing only.
