Fluxbox 9.15.1 Won't Install

[anthq]

HELP!

I'm using Sarge (3.1 r2), and installed only from 2 cds (the ones on linux-iso.org)...

I guess fluxbox wasnt installed on those because all the options for evironment when i logon is KDE and GNOME.

So i loggen on, went to Konqeror and got the .deb package from fluxbox.org.

I proceeded to do the dpkg -i fluxbox.deb, but it wouldnt go because it needed libimlib2. So I downloaded the libimlib2.deb package and did dpkg -i libimlib2.deb, and it said it needed at least libc6 2.3.5-1, and I only had libc6 2.3.2!

Help please! I need to install fluxbox!

Should I just grab the ISO images of DVDs off the Debian mirrors?

thx

install it from the official servers. Add to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main

then do

apt-get update
apt-get install fluxbox

or you could fetch all by yourself from http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/fluxbox

Still errors, but different ones:

fluxbox is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
fluxbox: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 is to be installed Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.1) but 1:3.4.3-13 is to be installed
Depends: libimlib2 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.0.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxinerama1 but it is not installable
Depends: libxrender1 (> 1:0.9.0-1) but 0.8.3-7 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

OK I did apt-get install and that installed libimlib2, then I did another apt-get install fluxbox, and it worked!

Thanks so much!
