hello readers, NEW USER question/problem, need help if possible. in trying to solve one shared libraries problem, i unintentionally removed the following library:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.91.60/libstdc++.so i don't know how to "reinstall" that file. i do not know the exact package to which it belongs, searching at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages for "libstdc++" returns: libstdc++2.9-dev2.91.60-5; libstdc++2.8 2.90.29-2; and libstdc++2.9 2.91.60-5. i can't "install" any of these packages through dselect because they are all marked "installed; install (was: install)", and when i try to install through apt-get, i get the message "sorry, libstdc++2.9-dev is already the newest version. i can download "libstdc++2.9-dev_2.91.60-5.deb" into my /tmp directory, but then i don't know how to "execute" the ".deb" file, or even if i should. i have exhausted my self-help efforts and i will really appreciate any help or direction, that way i can get back to solving the problem which i was solving when i killed the needed file. thanks very much, peter
