    acquiring g++ 3.4

    I'm trying to install linux dc++ on my computer. Everything is going ok except I get this error message.

    Compiler version check failed. g++ 3.4 or later is needed.

    I say ok and first check if g++ is on my computer. It is, but its 3.3.5.

    I use aptitude to install packages and when I seached it I couldn't find a g++. I figured I just needed a mirror which contained this package, but I wasn't able to find one on the internet. Can anyone give me a source or an idea of how to find this package?

    Also I ran apt-get install g++ and all it said was that the lastest version of g++ is installed. I still figure I need to find a source with the updated version, but I don't know.

    I've looked at the g++ 3.4 package on debian.org. I have the mirror where g++ 3.4 lives in my sources.list, but I think the problem is that some g++ 3.4 dependencies aren't for i386.

    libstdc++6-0-dev
    and
    libc6.1

    is there anyway to get around this?

    Also I could swear I already responded to this post last night, but I guess I didn't? If this post is a repeat please excuse the folly.

    I see now, sarge only has 3.3. 3.4 is in etch or above. I looked for a backport, but I couldn't find one. So either upgrade to etch (it will be the new stable soon) or use another dc++ client.
