For C programming, you need man-db (the manpage viewer) and manpages-dev (the C manual pages). C++ documentation is in libstdc++6*-doc (there are multiple packages, pick the one appropriate for your installed compiler). Apparently this package contains manpages, which surprises me; I would suggest using the HTML docs instead, though (I think you'll see why when you look at the manpages). Note that the C++ manpages include namespaces, so you'll need to use, e.g., "man std::string". Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
