I am trying to install Qtella and after I do ./configure on the Qtella directory (right after unpack) nothing happens. Near the end of ./configure (after the long list of results with the word ...no attached to them) Bash tells me this:

C++ compiler cannot create executables.

What do I do? Ive tried nearly everything in my knowledge. Also, with other packages, the make command is nonexistant. What is the replacement for that?

Nearly everything worked this time, however one thing failed: Bash said that Qt moc was not there! What is Qt moc and how can I get it to work!?!?!

Thanks squared in advance.

don't know what "moc" means, but if your package requires Qt then you will need to download and install some Qt headers (includes) and libs. Which ones are required is something i can't tell you, but if you read the included documentation (README & INSTALL, for example) it *should* tell you what you need.
Personally i think compiling Qt apps on DSL would be more work than it's worth, but who knows....maybe just doing "apt-get install libqt-dev" might be sufficient.
