The collected works of ManInScaryMask

Okay, this is seriously getting my goat (and I have no way to move my goat at this time...), so maybe someone has seen this:

I select a file, right-click, Remove, and get "<file> does not exist"...

What the heck?... I have set several users with different permissions to test, and they all say the same thing (EVEN ROOT...) None of them work!

I don't know what information would be needed, but all I know is that I have permissions set up, even 777 gives this error. Manual deletion through the terminal is fine, but the silly desktop won't work.

Anyone know what could be wrong? It's probably a n00b question too... >_<

Not to mention the fact I have no compiler that works... *growl*

only problem being that i have about a trillion linker errors...

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
return 0;
}


Doesn't work. I consider that fairly... Important... Otherwise, how would I actually *compile* anything? I don't have the CDs, because I didn't have the money to buy them when I bought my machine... Otherwise, I'm screwed, and have to buy an Octane for cheap just to get the CDs, THEN I'm left with yet another box in the closet...

My example gives me well towards a million linker errors. Yours only says that I don't have "getopt.h" and stops.

I'm downloading the 3.4.6 tardist, but it seems like I already had that one installed on there... That file doesn't seem to exist, so I'm wondering what the heck is actually going on...

I REALLY don't want to put my Octane back in the closet... I bought him for a reason... >_>

like i said, i can't, because i don't have the CDs...

i bought my octane from a colorado reseller, and didn't have the extra money to buy the CDs at system-purchase...
