Gcc installed but not linking and dependencies problems.

[levitan]

Hi everyone,

I`m trying to link (I`ve already compiled) a simple program, just to check if gcc is installed correctly. First of all I`ve tried :

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Test\n");
return(0);
}

And the answer was: test.c:1:19: stdio.h: No such file or directory

So I think the package libc6 is not installed correctly. But when I check it, with dpkg -l, I can see libc6 is already installed.

This is one problem, and here we can see the problem through a new point of view.

When I try to install g++ the error tell me that is necessary to install g++-3.3, and so I try to install g++-3.3 and the error tell me to install libstdc++5-3.3-dev, and then when I try to install it, the brand new error tell me to install libc6-dev, and when I try to install the new one, finally, I have a DEADLOCK ! He ask me to install libc6 that is ALREADY installed !

I`ve already read for a known bug, but it was solved...

Reading my debian_version file in the /etc directory i`ve discovered that the version is 3.1, but I think my version is unstable.

Regards,

Daniel

Have you tried forcing apt to install the package?

apt -f install libc6-dev

Hi Debian_user,

I`ve just tried to force, but the answer was:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.8) but 2.3.2.ds1-20 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Any other suggestions ?

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11. but 2.3.2.ds1-20 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Something similar happened to me too, with other packages. I couldn't find a very clever solution...
You are going to install libc6-dev 2.3.2.ds1-20 but you have libc6 2.2.5-11.8.
Try downloading from debian.org the latest libc6 package:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/libc6
and install it with

dpkg -i libc6_xxx

I`ve installed the package, then I`ve tried to install with apt-get install libc6-dev, and the same error ocurred, so I`ve tried to find this package in the debian website, but couldn`t find...
