How do I install ar and ld tools in Ubuntu? Please help.

chandan766 · 04-01-2009, 04:02 PM

I want to install Oracle Apps Release 12 on Ubuntu 8.10.
I needed the following tools to be installed:
ar,gcc,g++,make,ld,ksh and x server.
I am unable to find any information about "ar" and "ld". Please help.
Thanks.

sudo apt-get install build-essential ksh

will provide the things, you need.

'ar', 'ld' are provided by the package 'binutils',
probably already installed.
And if you can see a "Desktop", the x - server is
installed too.

Thanks a lot Knudfl, Can you tell me if there is anyway i can see if "ar" and "ld" are installed or not. Because I could install everything else but "ar" and "ld"

which ar
and
which ld

I can't imagine ld not being installed. Programs use it to load libraries.

Post # 5, @harlock59 : Welcome to LQ.

Which "Linux OS" are you using ? ?

Like Ubuntu 12.04, CentOS 6.3, Fedora 17, etc. etc.
