Re: [expert] Where are all the FIXES for XXXX BUGS????
Yes, exactly, it must a configuration problem ("distribution bug"),
right?
How would he know where g++ is looking for headers?
First guess for a fix:
ls -l /usr/include/g++
If this fails, then:
ln -s /usr/include/g++-2 /usr/include/g++
If this succeeds, then:
csh
foreach fn (/usr/include/g++2/*)
ln -s $fn /usr/include/g++/$fn:t
end

On Mon, 10 Apr 2000, you wrote: So what is the policy of updates by MANDRAKE? Hey I REALLY like this distribution and started recomending it all over, but this is not the right way Which version of Mandrake do you have? They do not appear to put out updates for older versions (i.e. 6.0, 6.1/6.5) once they've come out with a new release they appear to no longer actively support the previous versions, which is unfortunate, in my opinion. At least RedHat will continue to provide updates for previous releases. :-( John
RE: [expert] Where are all the FIXES for XXXX BUGS????
Often the bug fixes end up in Cooker, not on the updates page. You're fairly safe with Cooker rpms if the version number only differs by the rpm build number (i.e. 2.2-14 vs. 2.2-15). I agree that Mandrake needs to put more effort into maintaining the updates page. The bug fixes are usually in Cooker; someone just needs to test them and make them officially available.

Be patient. This list does have developers who do listen. One of them might even talk to you privately to address your concerns. Mandrake rocks as you will find out in due time.

Whats with g++'s location?? shouldn't it be /usr/lib/libg++.so.* instead of /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libg++.so.* update me if I am wrong.
