With autotools I get this:

  • It doesn't say anything. I have GCC installed if that helps.

Install build-essential Install build-essential if you haven't done so already. You can install it in the Software Center or with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential

gcc does not contain g++, these are different packages. Install g++ Install g++:

apt-get install g++

  • you are missing a build environment, it's more than just compilers, you need libraries and so on. Take a look here to find out what you need: help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo

  • I KNEW there was a package I could install in Ubuntu that would give me all the necessary packages for compiling, I just couldn't remember the name of it. Thanks!

  • The error messages hint's at kde - kde development is not included in build-essential. Don't know if there is a meta package for this.

I am aware that this is "Ask Ubuntu", but if someone with Fedora would meet this problem, the following helped me:

sudo dnf install gcc-c++
