Ubuntu help, cabextract


Recommended Posts

Ok, I had windows, it would not not boot up so i joined the wonderful world of ubuntu, It is day 2 of my exp. I download cabextract, do /.configure , and it says, C compiler can not create exes, this is the log

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while

running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by cabextract configure 1.2, which was

generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

Why don't you install the binary package?

user@host$ sudo apt-get install cabextract

Much easier than compiling it from source, don't you think.

You can always try to do sudo apt-get install cabextract from the console.

if you're still having problems you might not have install the linux headers from your distro. I don't remember the correct command but you might want to try the one above.

I ubuntu at work and at home just for "play" and i never found a need to compile any package, since ubuntu and it's repositories have lot's of stuff :)

Also, you may want to try sudo aptitude search <package> before compiling something.

Haha you were faster than me :D

Using the package manager is the best solution. Installation is easy, and any fixes and updates are automatically pushed to you whenever you update your system. (Y)
