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!
