I am looking to install Linux on my laptop (Dell Inspiron E1705). During installation I was asked if I wanted to install it under Windows or as a stand alone. I have partitioned my hard drive so the installation as a standalone is no problem, but this is my first time attempting to work with Linux. .

Are there any other issues I might have to face, and if so what is the best way to deal with them???

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Because my knowledge is limited in using and operating different parts of GNU/Linux OS I need help with installing a software using the Terminal.

There are documentation available on the internet here is one, which I viewed recently:

http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/

Thanks to author it was very clear. Here is where I face the problem – In the second step when I enter the "./configure" command computer read some parts of the file but it can not ‘create executable’!

Here is the exact output from the Terminal:
———-
checking for gcc… gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name… configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log’ for more details.
———-

My intention is to install some software manually using the Terminal. I don’t have any problems with the actual software instillation process from the Ad/Remove… menu within the Ubuntu.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
