It's hard to tell why it says that. What kernel are you running (the output of `uname -a` will tell you) and what version of gcc is the default (the output of `gcc --version` will tell you)? The kernel is 2.6.8-12-amd64-k8, and gcc is 3.3.5. I suspect that that is a security fixed kernel since sarge's release and m-a wants gcc 3.4. gcc-3.4 is available in Sarge, but not the default. The scripts that m-a a-i nvidia run include automatic detection of the appropriate compiler, using information in /proc/version. You will need to install that compiler by hand if it's not a dependency of the build-essential package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I am a desktop user, running Linux for about 6-7 years, mostly on the RH side, having moved over to Debian about 3 months ago. First question how stable is etch? Should I just move on over right now, or should I wait a little? Not stable at all, as Debian defines stable - i.e. it's constantly changing. For those running Sarge, how can one upload openoffice? It appears to be in a vicious circle, not wanting to upload due to no dependancies being selected, add them into the upload, and it still fails? Could I run the 32 bit version, or could I force the issue somehow? Run the 32-bit version from a chroot, as explained in the AMD64 howto. AMD64-native openoffice is not ready for general use (well, if you plan on opening files made by 32-bit versions anyway) How about Backports? Is there hope of getting something newer though them? What about Sarge source packages? Can I compile them on this machine and end up with 64 bit code? Backports carry AMD64 packages, but be careful to check what apt wants to do before hitting Y. Backporting by hand is simple enough - get a source package, extract with dpkg-source -x somefile.dsc, change to that folder, run dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot. May require packages you don't have already. Thanks- Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
