编译软件在Linux的软件安装方式中有着重要角色，最常用的就是使用“编译三部曲”：
./configure (配置环境，生成Makefile)
make (编译链接，生成可执行文件或库)
make install (将生成的文件复制到对应的路径下)
而在configure阶段会产生各种各样的错误，大都是由于没有对应的类库而造成的。本文以Ubuntu为例列出如下索引：
错误信息：C compiler cannot create executables
错误信息：C++ preprocessor “/lib/cpp” fails sanity check
错误分析：以上两条信息都是由于C/C++编译组件没有安装完全导致的。在Ubuntu下有一个build-essential包，可以一次性将C/C++编译包安装完全。
sudo apt-get install build-essential
错误信息：Can’t find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
错误分析：没有X(图形界面)的包含文件。可以安装xlibs-dev解决此问题，也可以安装xorg-dev一次性安装所有的Xorg相关的包。
sudo apt-get install xlibs-dev
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
错误信息：Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
sudo apt-get install libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev

sudo apt-get install kdelibs4-dev kdelibs4c2a
