Looks like you need to install the C header files - that is probably a
package something like libc development/headers?.

I have tried to install some libc packages, but no
luck.
I guess I have to sign up for a ubuntu mailing list
too, but thanks for replying.

I believe you need libc-dev. Basically you need to find the package with
the file stdlib.h in it.

RE: Re: DBI-1.59 install failure on Ubuntu. lacking......compiler complains of missing files

I am using Ubuntu at home and have successfully installed all the C
development tools necessary to
a) install things like Perl and Perl libraries
b) write Linux device drivers

Getting all the development packages installed in Ubuntu took several
hours' effort one evening. Basically the first thing you need to do is
set up hello.c and hello.C test cases and keep hammering at the
installation until you can get them working.

Unfortunately I'm not at home right now so I can't check what packages
I've got.

Also, one of the first things you want to do in Ubuntu is change the
root password so you don't have to use 'sudo' all the time. You effect
this password change the first time using 'sudo', of course.

Look at apt-get build-dep.

Yikes, not recommended. Sudo is an extra layer of logging and security
that is well worth the minor inconvenience. You get used to it.

Hi again Martin!
For REF. here is how I made it work:
I went to the site:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
here I can search for contents in packages.
I got the "tendra" package as result.
I installed it. Now all is fine.

A nice guy on "ubuntu-users" mailinglist quickly
instructed me in other ways to make it work. so, I can
recogment this mailinglist for future ubuntu/DBI
related Q's.
Thanks for the help!

Re: DBI-1.59 install failure on Ubuntu. lacking......compiler complains of missing files

from memory, the package you need would be libc6-dev.

Here are some useful things that will help you:

- install "apt-file" using apt-get or the GUI installer
- do "apt-file search blahblah.h" when you can't sort a dependency.

It gets easier after a bit :-)

Depends on your level of experience/competence/confidence.

Personally, having many years of experience with Unix in general and Linux in
particular (and good backups :-) ) a proper root shell holds few fears or
dangers.

But for a user who's just moved from Windoze, I'd agree with you :-)
