Try:
$ which gmc # should be /usr/bin/gmc
# if not found:
$ apt-get install gmc
...likewise for enlightenment. You can search for which package
supplies a local file with:
$ dpkg -S /file/path/filename
You can search for a package that supplies a capability with:
$ apt-cache search pattern
...you may need to install apt-cache first:
$ apt-get install apt-cache
If the files aren't on your CD, you can add lines to your
/etc/apt/sources.list file.
