Thread: C Compiler help on Linux

I've had this

you're trying to compile a 32bit program on 64bit linux
you need the 32bit version of the libc development libraries

Code:

sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386

that should be all that's required

*edit*
can you post what your sound problem is
cause re-compiling stuff is a bit drastic, and may not actually be necessary

The sound just doesn't work on 8.04. For some reason Dell ships computers with 7.10 so I upgraded and the sound stopped working. I click on the sound icon and it tells me that it is missing a driver.

Why do they still use legacy drivers? Hasn't Linux been 64-bit for like 5 years?

I'd be very surprised if a stock Dell machine's sound card is not supported natively by the kernel
(doubly surprised if it's onboard sound)

Chipsets for sound devices are all standard
and Intel's High Definition Audio is most definitely supported
but it's possible you may have some exotic sound chip that doesn't follow intel's reference design

are these the instructions you're following?

No, that wasn't the one that I was looking at, but look more thorough then the ones I saw. I'll try that.

It is onboard sound, but I guess the Inspiron 1420 has some weird crap with it.
