You need to pass sudo apt-get install gcc cpp to get them installed.

actually it is available on ubuntu's live cd too
sudo apt-cdrom add
(now insert cd in cd rom and fireup command given below)
sudo apt-get install build-essential

(after downloading all the essential package test whether gcc is working properly or not by creating simple "Hello world" program u can compile any c program using this command "gcc -o fileName filename.c" without "" or by using make)

Any reason for running 5.10? It's outdated and has no more support. Please get 6.06. If you can't download it, then order it from shipit.ubuntu.com
