You should also make sure to specify what distro you’re using. Most of those build essentials are in the base and base-devel group on Arch, for an example.

pacman -Sg base-devel lists the pckages in that group.

Yes, I know, I’m on Arch.
My comment was for starters and I assume when you I’ve installed a distribution like Arch. You’re aware of this little thing, nope? Tell me if I’m wrong :smiley:

The reply arrow doesn’t show up when the comment to which you’re replying is the one right above.

I’m a little confused :confused:
Should it be kb, Kb or KB?
Should this even matter?

It is KB. You can also use just K or KiB, but no kb or Kb.

It matters because 65536 and 64000 are different numbers and 1 __B__yte is 8 __b__its .
