I looked at the package manager and I saw that it claimed it was installed. It wasn't. Besides, I'm getting FreeBSD 6.1 and that should be the end of the problem.

build-essential had a green box to the left of it? If so then that's a bug, and you should probably report it so the problem can be ended not just for yourself.

Pathos:
sudo apt-get gcc or wateva is not that hard :/

The point of ubuntu is to make linux as accessible as possible and that includes making compilers unneccessary. its a good thing in my opinion.

it will still download it as a dependency if you download kernel headers or something.

The problem is my tester PC(the one I test programs and new OSes on) is not connected to the internet. I keep my eCS machine on the net.

--- Quote from: davidnix71 ---Hey, Duo, what's this? The Automatix list says not to install these if you live in the US.

23a) Installs NON-FREE audio codecs - BD (386/ppc)
23b) Installs NON-FREE DVD codecs -BD (386/amd64/ppc)

Yah, I know, but when have I ever cared about the legality of anything, much less copyright law?

Will it work? Yes! Is it legal in the US? Don't know, don't care. Is it safe? Seems so, been using it for months without a hitch.

I've heard of noone yet that has had their door kicked in for getting the codecs so that they can watch freecontent online or wat they have in their collection of DVDs.
