Re: Problems with gcc
I think my gcc problem is partly solved. It seems related to time_t which doesn't behave on amd64 as on i386 (where it was a double). I don't know yet how to cope with this but there must be a solution, there is a lot of concern about time_t and amd64 on the web. If you have a quick answer to this question too, don't hesitate to talk to me! For the installation and removal of gcc-4.3 base I still can't figure out what to do, but if compilation is possible, I feel less annoyed yet.

Trying to remove libc6 (also for testing) brings up an awful list of software, among them essential ones that wouldn't leave my system usable, but at least it is removable. libc6, libgcc1 and hence gcc-4.3-base are required packages. You can replace them, but not remove them. Still there may not actually be a problem. You could install the apt-show-versions tool and run it, and see if it lists anything as not uptodate or such, including 'newer than version in archive' which would tend to indicate something from sid or elsewhere. If everything is simply up to date then there is nothing currently incorrect installed, and anything that doesn't work is either a bug or a user error. I can't actually remember what the problem started out as anymore. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For the installation and removal of gcc-4.3 base I still can't figure out what to do, but if compilation is possible, I feel less annoyed yet. Well making code 64bit clean takes work in some cases where people made (incorrect) assumptions about types which just happened to work. time_t is __TIME_T_TYPE which is __SLONGWORD_TYPE which is 'long int' which is 32bit on some systems and 64bit on others I believe. As long as the code ALWAYS uses time_t when working on time values, that is no problem. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The openmp hello world program went very well, however I cant run my own programs (with or without openmp). The compilation goes without problem but running the programs output lots of messages like: 19201: binding file ./simpleset [0] to /lib/libc.so.6 [0]: normal symbol `malloc' or: 17186: symbol=fprintf; lookup in file=./simpleset [0] This is followed by the normal output PLUS a segmentation fault. But not all the time, sometimes the same program (not even recompiled) executes without any error.

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: libgcc1: Depends: gcc-4.3-base (= 4.3.1-2) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages I reinstalled it and also glibc, libgcc1, I finally installed gcc-4.2, but the problem remained, worse with gcc-3.4 whose compilations segfault immediately. I think I'll make a chroot environment in the future but I can't let my system in such a state anyway and I really don't know what to do. Any help highly welcome! Try 'apt-get -f install' that will try to get the packages into a sane state again. Not sure what you did but you manged to install libgcc1 that requries gcc 4.3 but not have gcc-4.3-base installed. So the answer is either install gcc-4.3-base or go back to an older libgcc1 that you do have the requirements for. Be very careful since removing libgcc1 will likely make your system unusable so don't do that. Either install an older version (apt-get install libgcc1=someversionnumber), or install the required gcc-4.3-base package. 'apt-cache show libgcc1 |grep Version' can get you a list of what versions you have to choose between. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Of course fi 'apt-get -f install' says nothing is wrong then I guess it is in the correct state as far as lenny is concerned (which doesn't mean lenny isn't potentially broken although it usually isn't). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Problems installing gcc-3.4
Hi, Another problem I have now, with gcc-3.4 installed, is that I can't install the nvidia drivers. I have downloaded the .run package and tried with ./NVIDIA --kernel-source-path /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 but it complains about cc version. Apperently the kernel is compiled with another version so how do get around this problem? I had the same problem. I (temporarily) downgraded the kernel to 2.6.7 You can also opt to compile the nVidia-module with gcc 3.4. The default for cc is gcc 3.3 and as of 2.6.8-4 the AMD64 kernel is compiled with gcc 3.4 thus causing a mismatch, I think. regards, Thomas

Hi, Yes I know it is possible to compile with gcc-3.4 but I don't know how. I read somewhere (don't remember where though) how this is done but can't for my life remember how. This should do the trick: export CC=/path/to/gcc-3.4; ./nvidiainstaller Given that you are using bash and are in the directory where nvidiainstaller resides of course. regards, Thomas
