Linux - give a helpful error message if required packages missing #680

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What change would like to see?

A user friendly, helpful error printed when someone tries Verify or Upload on a 
Linux system where one of the required packages (avr-gcc, avr-libc, 
binutils-avr) is missing.

Why?

The errors printed can be very confusing, especially in the case where avr-gcc 
is installed, but avr-libc is missing!

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?  If so, how
can these be mitigated?

Should be fully compatible, only more user friendly.
