Steps

installed required packages

sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install cpp 
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install gdb 

Software

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - DD June 06 release 80 Gig Removable Drive 1.8GHz AMD w/ 512MB RAM

Problems

My major problem was the instelation of my operating system. The first time I tried to install Ubuntu, they closed the open lab at 5:00 and I was almost done. The second time I installed it I did it at home had no problems, that I was aware of; I even installed VMware, XP and Visual studios. When I got to school to start the build I was unable to run ubuntu because I was missing some xserver and there were a few other problems with the X11. I tried to fix however in tring to repare this I deleted my instelation. and had to start again. The next instelation I did I did at the school and started the build there. The problems continued. I would run the apt-get install and I got dependncy errors when tring to get the lib files and gtk toolkit. I then tied to install each package independently from the gtk ftp cite I ended up with curcular dependencies. Someone sugessted that it might have been a problem with my instulation and sure enough my CD was bad.

From there I only had two minor problems and that was when I was at the school and I tried to co the source and I was getting a weird error when I tried to do the make -f client.mk checkout I had to add a target to the end.

Solutions

Ubuntu problem: bought new CD and reburned the image.

target error:

make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser

Conclusions and reflections

note I am extremely impressed with the humour of the programmers or the sarcasm that is expressed in their out put when things go wrong.
