I just hit this problem when I tried to compile vanilla gcc-4.6 from the gcc svn branch.
Two comments: (a) installing the multilib package on a non-multilib i686 machine is not a real option (why would I install 64bit libs and environment if I don't need them? System hygiene!) (b) you can not expect all packages out there to change whatever needs changing to make this work your way If all that's needed is a symlink, which appears to be the case as I just added one manually, then I suggest to keep that symlink around in the basic build-essential package and everything Just Works (TM). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774215 Title: include/asm missing - change "Suggest" to "Depends" on gcc-multilib To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clang/+bug/774215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
