Hi all,

I realize that I'm working on an ubuntu system (fiesty), but thought that 
since it's a debian based system getting the toolchain installed on it 
would be rather straightforward.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work like 
that.  Using the instructions from 
http://www.emdebian.org/tools/crosstools.html I added 

deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ unstable main

to my /etc/apt/sources.list.   When I try to install the mipsel version of 
the toolchain I get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/crosstools/trunk# sudo apt-get install 
g++-4.1-mipsel-linux-gnu
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  g++-4.1-mipsel-linux-gnu: Depends: gcc-4.1-base (= 4.1.2-21) but 
4.1.2-0ubuntu4 is to be installed
                            Depends: gcc-4.1-mipsel-linux-gnu (= 4.1.2-21) 
but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is 
to be installed
                            Depends: libstdc++6-4.1-dev-mipsel-cross (= 
4.1.2-21) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Ok, so I'm a complete noob to the cross compiler, but the installation 
should be straight forward enough.  How do I get the proper versions of 
the tools installed?

TIA
