[Elios]

ok i have been trying for the past hour to get gcc/gpp/g++ installed and workin on my ubuntu box and i seem to be missing some thing what packages to i need to make it work?

What package have you tried?

$ sudo apt-cache search ^gcc-

Ubuntu doesn't come with gcc installed by default.

apt-get install gcc

pulls in gcc4, version 4.0.3 I believe. If you need a gcc3 install, there is gcc-3.4, gcc-3.3.

Besides using apt-cache search, you can also check out the ubuntu package list.
