C Compiler

Hi-

I as sent to you to answer this question:

Those kinds of questions are better asked on

debian-user@lists.debian.org.

You probably want to install the build-essential package, which gives

you a C compiler amongst other bits.

Can you help?   What is build-essential?

Thanks,

Tom
