messing with ubuntu
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Started messing with Ubuntu for a piece I am doing. The show install is in a week, so I am kinda cutting it close but I really do need to get back to some sorda linux distro. Ubuntu seems to be all the rage, so I am jumping on the bandwagon so to speak.
Quick tech note: Compiling C code can be a bit annoying at first on this platform. In the great tradition of OSX (which doesn’t include a C compiler period) the folk at Cannonical give you gcc without any of the libraries:) grrrr! (SOLUTION: <apt-get update> followed by <apt-get install build-essential>)
other then the above annoyence a smooth ride so far
