C compiler on kubuntu 6.06

[winnie]

at Adept Manager I can see that gcc-3.3-base,gcc-4.0-base and libgcc1 are installed.
What else to do to make the compiler work??
I type "man gcc" on terminal and says"no manual entry for gcc"
heeeelp!

Re: C compiler on kubuntu 6.06

Install the package 'build-essential', as this will install gcc and all the other needed bits to get you started.

How to install 'build-essential'?Is it in the CD I've ordered?I dont have Internet on my kubuntu,I need the compiler to install my dsl modem..

I think it is, you should be able to get it in adept package manager, though I am not sure what else you will need beyond that.

Can I use the terminal and how instead of adept package management?

sudo apt-cdrom add ### this makes sure your cdrom is used as a repository
sudo apt-get install build-essential ### this will install the package and its dependecies

Maybe you need your kernel sources?

I dont know what kernel sources are,I am totally new to kubuntu and linux in general.Is it sth I have to download or install from the CD?
