Kompileing issues
Hello,
I am a newbie using Ubuntu 8.04 installed by "wubi"
My question is why i cannot install for example "beryl" or any other tarballs ?
It is because Ubuntu is not properly my default OS ?
Thanks !

The best way to install applications is not to use tarballs, but the packagesystem.
Simply click on Applications → Add / remove software.
From here you can install and remove software.
(Tip: If you're going to compile software, you need to have the right dependencies to do so.
For the most basic sources, open up a terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal) and enter "sudo apt-get install build-essential" (without the quotes).)

By the packagesystem, i installed few applications, working perfectly.
So should'nt be a problem that Ubuntu is installed by "Wubi" Yes ?

Yes, Wubi installs Ubuntu, and a Wubi install should work just as good.
