Not devel resources, stable ones.

devel doesn't stand for development release here but rather for development tool. So, that's perfectly fine. Yes, Ultimate Z Fighter, that's the correct link.

tech_your_future: Get your basics right. Downloading individual packages is not the way to install software on ubuntu / debian. Use apt.

Ultimate Z Fighter:

sudo aptitude install build-essential

That is the command to install all the required libraries, compilers, etc required to compile other programs.

My basics are right but your brain isn't. How in the world is someone going to use apt without a net connection. You aren't the only person in this whole world who know linux. We use and know it too, but keep track of what's going on around too. We just don't pop up with a half knowing solution. As they say half the knowlege is very dangerous. So, is your case.

One thing I have to say people. this autppackage thing is simply awesome. I just got it & clearly, this is what Linux needed all along. I don't know what took so long. This should have been done ages ago.
