(would-be new user!) Having found that dselect wouldn't work right for me (it marks packages for installation but never actually installs many of them), I've been doing it by hand with dpkg. I have found that these two package files g++_2.91.66-0slink2.deb libstdc++2.9-dev_2.91.66-0slink0.deb install OK but won't configure; and each of them announces that the problem is that it depends on the other. I have to be doing something wrong, but I can't find it. I don't see any other versions of either the libstdc++2.9-dev or the g++ package.
