G,day, I am absolutely a beginner in linux. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and don't have any internet connection in home. Thats why, I 've downloaded the file vlc-0.8.4a.tar.gz and wanted to install it. Here is the link :( http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.4a/vlc-0.8.4a.tar.gz).
And I tried following commands: tar -xvf vlc-0.8.4a.tar.gz cd vlc-0.8.4a.tar.gz ./configure Then it shows the output with an error message: checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1 checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1 checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. Any problem with my gcc? Can someone please suggest me what has to be done in these cases? And I want to know another thing, my macbook is configured with core 2 duo (1.83 GHz), 512MB RAM and 64MB graphics card. Which latest version of Ubuntu will be best suitable? However, current version 7.10 is working fine. Thanks. -- Ubuntu Bangladesh | http://ubuntu.linux.org.bd ubuntu-bd@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
