Broken GCC by default is very unintuitive
It's not broken, the install allows to build kernel modules, which was
asked by end users. Please install the build-essential package to get
a more complete build environment. Also note, that you need to install
the -dev package for every library that
ok sry, I won't do that in the future.I don't mean to be annoying, I
just really feel some more thought should go into this bug. Do you guys
understand why I think that a non-usable gcc is worse than no gcc at
all?

gcc is broken in Gutsy Tribe5 directly after installation+upgrade
gcc, as installed out of the box, works for building kernel modules;
please install the build-essential package. normal users don't need
the compiler, and so only essential bits are installed by default.

Many people check if gcc is installed by typing gcc, if you need to
have a bare bone non-usable gcc by default, then don't put it in the
path at least. This will give users a more intuitive experience, i.e.
oh, it looks like gcc is not installed so thus I have install it
instead of seems like gcc
Broken GCC by default is very unintuitive; remove it from path so people
understand that they need to install GCC.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu.
As a workaround I used this command:
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev
(this installed something and then gcc worked). I would still except gcc
to work out of the box, so plx fix this bug before Gutsy release.
