ld: cannot find -lc

Asked by Richard Kemp

Trying to run Freebasic in Edubuntu 7.10 gusty. I just get ld: cannot find -lc (which probably means it cannot find anything library wise much). I gather this means it is looking for libc.a. Tried installing linux-libc-dev, no success. I obviously already have libc6, so's etc etc but not libc.a. How do I create this?

You don't have the GlibC development headers, they are in the libc6-dev package.
