Have you actually tried `apt-get install g++`? Circular dependencies are not a problem (unless it's a Pre-Depends one). It merely means that you need both g++ and libstdc++2.10-dev installed in order to _use_ either of them. It does not mean that one has to be installed already before you can install the other. Go ahead, `apt-get install g++` and ask again if that doesn't work (it should). -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
