Debian installing files
 
I installed Debian and tryd to installe some files of the Tar.gz and debian was missing some cc files.. why did it do that? and where do i get them?

Can you provide more details? It sounds like you're trying to install something from source and are lacking a C compiler. "apt-get install gcc" or use Synaptic to search for gcc and install it.

..but before that, check whether you can install the same software via Synaptic, which is a far easier way to install software in debian

apt-get install package_name after an apt-get update.

The package build-essential should provide all you need to compile and install applications.
So-
apt-get install build-essential
