== Problems ==
My major problem was the instelation installation 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 Ubuntu because I was missing some xserver server and there were a few other problems with the X11.I tried to fix however in tring trying to repare repairer this I deleted my instelationinstallation. and had to start again. The next instelation installation 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 dependency errors when tring trying 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 circular dependencies. Someone sugessted suggested that it might have been a problem with my instulation insulation 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 re burned the image.
target error:
Tom -- linux help
Mike -- build

== Conclusions and reflections ==
I am too stubborn. I should have given up after two nights and
moved to a different OS, however I was determined to get it working.
Had I moved to a different OS I might have realized it wasn't me it was my instillation CD was bad.
