serious problems with the development environment in AMD74 Kubuntu 7.10

[mandark]

I have had great success with the Intel 386 version of Kubuntu, no serious problems.

On my first, fresh instal of Kubuntu 7.10 AMD 64 version, I can not get anything to build!

I get messages that I don't have libc and its dependencies, but I know for a fact its there!

I can not sudo aptitude install build-essential either, its not found. And its deb file package demands more dependencies. Is there something I am missing here? I don't understand why AMD 64 Kubuntu is so different. It seems to have a totally screwed, messed up dev environment compared to the 386 version, out of the box

Does it have anything to do with this issue?

or this one?

Is a 32 bit compatibility layer necessary to build certain pakcages in AMD 64? If so, why was this not included in the install?

Nothing is working out of the box, and it baffles me as I did not have any of these problems building from source on 386 intel Kubuntu.

thanks in advance if you have any idea what is going on... its not hardware, i am using am HP Tx1000z which has been used on ubuntu as here:

I'm not a software developer, but I've been running the 64-bit version on my Intel Core 2 Extreme system since Feisty, and the issues that you are having don't look reasonable or normal to me. I have no problem installing the kernel-headers package, for example, which is required for proprietary driver installations.

I'm wondering if there's a possibility of a problem with your sources list. Did you change it from the defaults for any reason? Can you post it, in case anyone can see a problem with it?

I ran the stock install from the Kbuntu CD. I didn't change anything. Its the same thing I did with Intel, and Intel works flawlessly.

I am an experienced Linux user, I even code a bit. This just baffles me, and it doesn't look fixable w.o reinstalling the whole dev environment!

The system shown in the link appears to have successfully installed Fedora 8. Have you tried that? It would be interesting to see if the problems that you are having with Kubuntu are common across multiple distros, although I don't imagine you're keen to rebuild your development environment.

Otherwise, I don't get it -- I would double-check that the package manager is functioning correctly with

sudo dpkg --configure -a

but beyond that it's kind of a strange problem, and I don't recall hearing any other examples of it.

What does /etc/apt/sources.list look like?

it says this over and over:

#Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify
#deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted

two other versions have "multiverse" and "universe" in the message....instead of 'main'...
