Greetings:
I recently installed sarge testing onto my powerbook G3.
i have most things working, however there seems to be no compiler!
I noticed that when i installed that there was no option for development stuff
in tasksel... could this have been forshadowing of what was to come?
i noticed that gcc-3.3-base was installed, but the actual compiler collection
was not..
so after an apt-get install gcc-3.3 i am left with a bunch of dpkg errors...
(see below)
i was able to install gcc-3.2 and thus make a cimple C program compile...
however i need to compile C++ programs, and thus needed g++ installed
i tried 'apt-get install g++' -- and i was again confronted with the same
gcc-3.3 related errors...
furthermore, i am not able to install autoconf or the like, as they all depend
on gcc-3.3
is there any way to get a complete C/C++ development system working on
Sarge/testing for PPC? ... or should i move to unstable...?
thanks in advance!
Dylan
