[11:21] <jimmy-x> Hi, just installed ubuntu budgie 17.10 in VMware. Came across 2 problems. 1: when installing vmware tools it can't find appropriate gcc. and when I point to /usr/bin/gcc it says it is not valid. Does anyone have a reason for this? it is gcc (Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu3) 7.2.0
[11:23] <jimmy-x> I've installed build-essential
[11:24] <jbicha> jimmy-x: by the way, I find VirtualBox works pretty well with Ubuntu
[11:28] <jimmy-x> ok. I might try that. to be clear, I've ubuntu 17.10 working with no issues, it is just the ubuntu budgie edition
[11:35] <jimmy-x> actually it is no related to vmware.. getting an error when trying to compile. eg. installing package via pip
[11:35] <jimmy-x>     building '_scandir' extension     creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7     x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/python2.7-l1RrwO/python2.7-2.7.14=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c _scandir.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/_scandir.o     _sc
[11:35] <jimmy-x> looks like gcc is broken in this image
[11:39] <jimmy-x> copy/paste error
[11:39] <jimmy-x> No such file or directory      #include <Python.h>               ^~~~~~~~~~     compilation terminated.     error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
[11:47] <jimmy-x> actually nevermind.. was missing python-dev package.
[11:48] <jimmy-x> sorry for bothering. Looks like a slick OS (aside from some missing default packages I'm used to)
[12:54] <jbicha> compilers intentionally are not installed by default
[12:54] <jbicha> Pop!_OS might be including some build tools by default though
