You need the c++ compiler:

i ran:
apt-get update
apt-get install gcc-c++

i get:
E: Couldn't find package gcc-c

it seems the lose the "++" somewhere in the process.
i also tried it will quotes around the pakage, ie "gcc-c++"
i get the same result.
then i did:

apt-cache search gcc-c++ and apt-cache search gcc-c
both return nothing.

It worked fine for me. You using 10000? Here is a copy of what went on in my terminal.

if i want to install gcc, and my computer with a blag install doesn't have a net connection, where should i get things i'm looking for? so far this area is all i can come up with because i found GCC there. is that where i should get blag packages from?

you can also get them from the GCC website

http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html

Unless you really really know what's up, I don't recommend getting GCC from the gnu site--It will be much more complicated.

You can read about apt-get by running:

well you see if i ever get that annoying wireless card working i'd get it connected to the net. so the link that i put in my previous post:

ftp://ftp.blagblagblag.org/pub/BLAG/linux/10000/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS.extras/gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm

would that be the right place for me to download it then rpm it?

jebba · Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2004 5:07 pm Post subject:

If you can get that rpm copied to you box, you can then just copy it /anywhere/ and while in the same directory as the file, run as root:

rpm -Uvh gcc-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm

You'll want to do the same with gcc-c++ and glibc-devel and whatever others you may need, depending on the application you are compiling.

ok, thanks, i can take files to that box (i have a CD burner on my net connected box, its a plextor plexwriter premium :) ) thanks a ton i'll get my RPM's from there now (chasing around FC1 on rpmfind.net isn't exactly fun)
