I was only able to find a couple of programs written in C for this. Here are a couple of links to start you in the right direction:

To compile a c program, do this:

gcc program.c where program.c is the file that you want to compile.

You'll probably need the build-essential package in ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Remember- make sure to back up any important information before messing with stuff, especially before you use code you find on the internet
