Larry, The linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev must be in the same folder, wherein you execute $ sudo dpkg -i lib*.deb Your personal folder is OK. The packages should be displayer by $ ls *.deb Note that $ is the command prompt, but not part of the command: sudo dpkg -i lib*.deb MarvS On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 11:12 PM, Larry Hager <larrymeditates@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and trying to set up a modem and was told to download packages: linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev.
