HELP -- UBUNTU -- Do not have a proper compiling system

[Ignoramus20905]

I am a little bit pissed. I installed edubuntu for my 4.5 year old
son, and discovered that it does not have a working gcc! WTF!

(I am trying to install mplayer)

I did install gcc with apt-get install gcc-3.4, or some such, but it
seems to lack important stuff.

When I am compiling mplayer MPlayer-1.0pre7try2, it complains during
../configure that:

Checking for bitypes.h (inttypes.h predecessor) ...
Error: Cannot find header either inttypes.h or bitypes.h (see
DOCS/HTML/en/faq.html).

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.

the log file says that sys/bitypes.h was not found. Where does this
file come from and how can I properly get it?

The whole /usr/include/sys directory is missing on my install, whereas
it is present on fedora core. Any idea how to find what I am missing?

thanks!

you mean you were drunk when you posted this? that explains why you
asked this group for help, I suppose.

son

I bet your son is already smart enough to know not to ask a perl group
for linux help.

they say each generation is smarter than the one which preceeded it.

hmm.

Do you realize you are posting this to comp.lang.perl.misc?

I thought I had asked you a long time ago to stick with a single posting
address so I did not have to plonk you each time.

Try another group.

No, I posted here by mistake, and yes, I am a little drunk indeed.

Poor kid; all the cools kids have gcc these days. Was there a Perl question
you forgot to ask?

[whatever]

Your name is program, isn't it?
Anyway, why are you keeping inventing new email alias? It doesn't improve
your standing and justs adds one more entry in my kill file.

Bye bye

I find this heuristic scorerule:

Score:: -9000
X-No-Archive: yes

to be a great time saver.

It catchs many ignorami, including this OP.

Try using regular expressions and a decent newsreader...
