Hello,
I am new to linux...when i try to install gcc in ubuntu 8.04...i am getting the below error.
root@sharief-desktop:/home/sharief# sudo apt-get install build-essential
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package build-essential has no installation candidate
root@sharief-desktop:/home/sharief#
...i dont know whats the error is...can anyone tell me what to do for this?
You may be missing something in your sources.list file. Can you post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list The package build-essential definitely exists. It's installed on my system.
Cheers,

It is normal and common courtesy to reply to a question when you are asking for help. Asking a completely different question is not appropriate. If you have another question start another thread.

i am trying to install the flash plugin for my mozilla.... browser...and i am trying to install mp3 plugin for my movie player.....but i cant
You need to install some packages but I can't tell you their names since I don't use Fedora. Do you know how to install packages on Fedora? On Debian-based systems it's called "flashplugin-nonfree" but I don't know if the same name is used on Fedora. I guess you can search package names with yum. If you find the plugin just install the package and restart firefox.
