No make package in Ubuntu?

Just recently install ubuntu 5.10 in my laptop. Tried to install emacs. But found that ubuntu doesn't have make, gcc packages. Is it true? or I made some mistakes.

The default Ubuntu installation is really barebones (gnome and base system) so you need to install development tools and other apps from online repos using apt.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Out of curiosity, are you trying to build emacs from source?

You can install it using apt: "sudo apt-get install emacs21"

That is what it is called on my system. Try "apt-cache search emacs". You may need to enable the universe repository in /etc/apt/sources.list and then run "sudo apt-get update" first.
