Thanks for the advice. I did as you suggested (with the apt and wmaker from the unstable branch), and everything seemed to work flawlessly -- apt is really a snazzy tool. I am having one additional problem, though, and I don't know if it relates to this libc6 upgrade or a generic problem with my original Hamm install --
If I do: $ gcc -o hello hello.c everything works fine, and I've got a usable hello app. However: $ gcc -o hello hello.cc I get an error that it can't find something like cc1plus (I'm not at that computer now). I tried using '$ egcs -o hello hello.cc', but I got a multitude of error related to standard libraries (cout, etc.). Am I just missing the c++ complier, or is lots of stuff potentially messed up? Thanks again for the help with apt. CSS -------------------------------------- Christopher S.
