@ Pral
Hey in unix system there are no drive concept (like c:\,d:\ etc). all are these declare as a file system. you
can find them at /media/(file system name). you want to paste some .h file? but there are no need for this
because ubuntu have preinstall these library files.

It is useful to install manpages in addition to the compilers. You can do this for example using the following
command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential manpages-dev

…or if you have already installed the build-essential package:

sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
