Dave, Erik, Oli, thank you! That helps..
I just moved here and i will have my adsl connection installed in about a 
month. So i'll have no internet at home till then. I'll see if there's the 
build-essential package in the install cd but I guess there's not much i 
can do offline.
Thanks
I have Python installed.Could this help?(i don't think so)
