Help with Linux & FB, ld: cannot find -lc

[Nixon]

I have only began to use linux about a week, I have installed(well not exactly installed, but boot from disc and use the hd, cause I couldn't get grub to work) Puppy Linux on my old 450mhz computer. I have been using FB for a year or to now and would like to use it in linux as well. I installed FB, but I can't compile anything, I type in "fbc hello.bas" when I'm in the right directory, and get this message "/initrd/pup_rw/usr/share/freebasic/bin/linux/ld: cannot find -lc"

Am I making some stupid newbie mistake, or should I be using a different linux distro. Any help is appreciated.
