I need help compiling kernel-source-2.4.27 on Ubuntu 6.06

[Slyth100]

I have followed the instructions in the readme and typed make oldconfig which worked fine. I then typed in "make dep" and got this error:

gcc-3.3 -Wall -Wstrict-prtotoytpes -02 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep scri pts/mkdep.c
make: gcc-3.3:Command not found
make: *** [scipts/mkdep] Error 127


Is this becuase i have gcc 4 installed and not gcc 3.3? Do I need to change the make file in some way?

I have been trying to figure this out but because i am a newbie to linux I don't know what this error means!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yes. What's the output of

apt-cache search gcc

?

[Slyth100]

I have typed in apt-cache search gcc and this is what happens:

cpp - The GNU C preprocessor (cpp)
cpp-4.0 - The GNU C preprocessor
dpkg-dev - package building tools for Debian
gcc - The GNU C compiler
gcc-4.0 - The GNU C compiler
libgcj7-jar - Java runtime library for use with gcj (jar files)
libgcc1 - GCC support library
libgcj7 - Java runtime library for use with gcj
gcc-4.0-base - The GNU Compiler Collection (base package)
gcj-4.1-base - The GNU Compiler Collection (gcj base package)
gcc-3.3-base - The GNU Compiler Collection (base package)

So, what do I do now?

I don't know if it's the right package, but you can try

apt-get install gcc-3.3-base

But if it wants to remove other important packages, you should decide not to install it.
