[kforge-user] Error installing KForge on Ubuntu 9.04

Fri Nov 13 17:41:30 UTC 2009

Hi John,

Thanks for trying to install KForge. You appear not to have 'gcc'.

You can get 'gcc' by installing the build-essential package:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Then try installing KForge again. Let us know how it goes?

Best wishes,

John.
