Re: [Gumstix-users] Initial Compilation problems

Dave-
I think this is the real big bingo because while running the synapitc pacage 
manager for ubuntu tyring to gather up stuff i thought to my self "sources, 
we don't need no sources" but uhhh yea.....bingo

Dave saves the day again!

Since this is causing me (and possibly other people) problems, I added it to 
the wiki on this page:
