I decided to run the script tonight to update my working copy of virtualbox. Seemed to run well but then gave this message:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation...........
VirtualBox Version 4.0.6 r71344 (2011-04-21T11:07:44Z) installer
Please install the GNU compiler.
Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.

I looked through these forums but found nothing; I went into synaptic and downloaded everything that looked related to gcc, but still get the same error. Probably I should mention that so far as I know through synaptic my system is fully up to date.
I'll appreciate any suggestions! Thanks in advance!
