I want to install the C++ library, but the terminal keeps asking me to insert the CD for installation. What CD?
Here is the terminal code I used to attempt to install with:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
After I enter in my password and hit y, it says: Media change
Why does it say that? Can anyone help me either with this problem or find another way to install the C++ Library? Thanks.
It looks like this is because you've used CDs/DVDs to install your system instead of online repositories. When you try to use the package manager it's referring to those CDs.
You might want to add Ubuntu repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Default contents of /etc/apt/sources.list contents for Ubuntu Precise installed using netboot images is listed below:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security multiverse
Then run apt-get update and install the buil-essential package as you tried doing it earlier.
