Where is the C Compiler?

[Matt Galvin]

lineakd is in the universe so...

The easy way:

sudo apt-get install lineakd

The long way(good for learning):

Determine what lineakd's dep's are and install all the deps and its
lib* and *-dev packages. Generally speaking, in Synaptic you can find
this stuff in the "Development", "Libraries", and "Libraries -
Developement" Categories. Then do the usual ./configure; make; make
install.

Hope this helps,

Matt
