When asking a question about compilation errors, the most important
thing you can do is to post the first error that gcc spits out.
Until you do that, nobody will be able to help you.

So, where's this information? Without it, nobody will be able to
diagnose anything, and the only suggestions you'll get will be "Post the
first compile error."

Nothing better to do with your time than gives posting lessons on
Usenets Geronimo?

Well, you certainly seem to need the advice. Follow it, or the
suggestions you receive will be less than helpful.

Since you didn't post the information necessary to diagnose/fix the
problem, but instead complained that I told you what you needed to do,
I'm guessing you don't really want to solve the problem. I'm willing to
give you the benefit of the doubt, though, so post that first compile
error.

When asking a question about compilation errors, the most important
thing you can do is to post the first error that gcc spits out. Until
you do that, nobody will be able to help you. It's highly probable that
a development package isn't installed, or a needed library is installed
in a weird place, or something like that. It's also useful to read
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html , even though it's
snarky.
