how to set up wireless connection in my system

I think you can install gcc, from the ubuntu's cd. You should try to install it with synaptics package manager, its in Administration Menu.
If it isn't posible, you can search the package in the cd with the file manager, it used to be in /media/cdrom/pool/g/gcc-XxX.deb

I think this helps you....

hi ,
Actually most of the software programs are written in c and to run those we need a compiler gcc, thats why the error is coming like gcc not found as it is not in your system.
Now you can do two things :
1) simplest way :
    if you are able to connect with the internet then in the command line type :
     sudo apt-get install gcc
     it will ask you root passward type that and then everything is done just hit yes at every questions then.
2) or gc is also in the ubuntu installation CD you can find it at:
     cdrom/pool/main/g/
    and install all the packages of g there your problem will be solved

hi guys,
yep your advice seems good.the only problem is that i have given the ubuntu cd away..i could ask my friend to mail me the folder /main/pool/
is it enough for me load the package..
sorry guys i am really new..it will be great if you can tell me how to load the package..
thanks in advance

i was using my friends machine..and when he wants to install a package all he got to do was right click on the package and he got "debi packge installer"..how do i get one?is there another package i got to install to get that option?

you can install the package with:
sudo deb -i gcc-xxx.deb
substituing xxx with you version number.

whats the prob..where am going wrong..thanks juan

To get both gcc and some other tools to accompany it, install the 'build-essential' package, which is a metapackage that will bring in all the other things you need. You can do this using an online repository or a CD with a repository structure.

I want to make one thing clear you cannot use ubuntu until or unless your OS is not configured as per your requirement like just after installing the same OS in system, system will unable to play audio and video files because of lacking of packages which is to be downloaded from internet only.The same problem is with compilers also.First you have to configured it from net.
