I'm not sure this is a bug, or a misconfiguration on my part, but the man package installed even though I didn't have libgdbm installed. Then man would die on launch when it couldn't find the library.
Also, I installed gcc-2.7.1 and libc5, libc5-dev, and elf-libg++, and tried to compile a simple program (empty main). When I tried to compile the program, I got this error: $ g++ -c -I/usr/i486-linuxelf/include/g++ test.cc as: can't load library 'libbfd.so.2.5.2l.20' Is there a dependency missing? Thanks -- Rob
