Version: 2.16.1 What were you doing when the application crashed? I'm trying to build an application that isn't available as a .deb When I try to run the config script, I get the errors: mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/lib/X11/config <stdin>:1:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory <stdin>:2:19: error: ctype.h: No such file or directory <stdin>: In function ‘main’: <stdin>:18: error: ‘NULL’ undeclared (first use in this function) <stdin>:18: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once <stdin>:18: error: for each function it appears in.) <stdin>:45: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘sscanf’ <stdin>:49: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘printf’ Aborted (core dumped) It seems like stdio.h should just be in a search path or something, but I can't even find the file on the system. I've verified that glibc is present (isn't stdio.h supposed to be in glibc?) Sorry for the newbe question, but how do I configure ubuntu to be able to do things like simple software builds?

This problem happened when I was trying to install NIST-Net (a public domain network impairment program written by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology) on a newly installed Ubuntu 6.10 i386 Desktop system. If this wound up in the wrong place for this kind of problem, my appologies - I just put in a search for my error message under the "help" tool, and here I am... I think it may have wound up listed as a Gnome problem, but I don't think it is - I'd more guess that it's an Ubuntu problem, but then I really don't know... I still believe that the main part of my problem is related to these errors: <stdin>:1:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory <stdin>:2:19: error: ctype.h: No such file or directory Obviously it's a problem when you can't find stdio.h! However, I've never actually done any c programming under Linux from the command line, and I don't have a clue where to start looking for how to get the library accessable. One friend that I talked to (who has certainly done a lot more c than I) was surprised that it wasn't just there, and offered no suggestions. Isn't stdio.h supposed to be included in glibc? That's certainly installed - I checked. Any suggestions that anyone can offer to a newbe like me, I'd really appreciate it.
