I am using Ubuntu 10.10 as VM and am new to it. Until recently i could easily compile C programs from the terminal. However, as i try to compile them now it gives a message as:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc 
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I have searched for it over the net but could not figure out what is going wrong. I know the answer to it must be simple but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Installing the necessary tools should solve your problem. Try:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential
