GCC error- help

1. When I compile using GCC, its giving me error 'cannot find stdio.h...other header files.' Its just a simple hello program that I checked. It used to compile the last time I ran.

I checked the directory: /usr/src/linuxheader.../include/asm. There are no stdio.h, stdlib.h header files. What went wrong?

Help please.

Install the header files.

For example, on Ubuntu, an easy way to get all development libraries is to install the build-essential package (Its even on the CD).

Ok.

I checked in Synaptic. It is showing uninstalled...so this will work.
Thanks!

yep 100% guaranteed

Thanks. Though I haven't used build-essential, but my problem is solved.

build-essential is a meta-package, it installed a lot of stuff for you, you are inadvertently using it.
