Hi,

I have installed MySQL-4.0.15-max on DSL with instant success! Obviously, its installed on a hard drive, just need it to auto load in init.d but thats another problem.

I can't install PHP or Apache2 because they give me the error message - "C complier cannot create executables". Does anyone know the easiest way to upgrade the C compiler on DSL or is this an integral part of DSL?

Thanks

Matthew

Did you try updating your gcc files?
to do this just download the dpkg (see the faq for that) and do "apt-get install gcc" you also might want to do "apt-get install g++"

Hope this helps

Excellent! Thank you very much.

PHP and Apache compiled with no problems (apart from PHP needing flex). Just got to configure Apache2 and then get on to XMail...

I think the apt-get program is excellent. A very good piece of coding.

Thanks again

Matthew

Trring to install gcc as per your isntructions Dakrone but get errors :-(

If I do:
apt-get dist-upgrade gcc
(because apt-get install gcc bombed out)
I get error:

Use of unitialised value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/config.pm line 14.
Out of Memory: Killed process 52 (dpkg)
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly.

There is 32Mb of memory on this machine with a 64MB swap file.

Line 13-15 of config.pm read:
if (! $ENV{DEBCONF_SYSTEMRC}) {
unshift @config_files, "$ENV{HOME}/.debconfrc";
}

Any ideas??

Try doing an apt-get install g++ instead, I think g++ might automatically install gcc also, but if it doesn't work, lemme know and I'll try to think of something.

Tried g++ install as suggested but get same error. It occurs when console-common is being prepared for install. The error about something being uninitialised also occured by itself (i.e. no aout of memory error following) during the apt-get install process.

So I wonder if there are actually 2 problems here. An uninitialised variable and a lack of memory. I haven't a clue how to fix the former but the latter might might be fixeable by increasing the swap space if someone can tell me a good disk partition editor that allows me to vary partition sizes on an already partitioned disk that has data on it.

have you try apt-get upgrade and update ?

Posted by wrayal on Oct. 21 2003,18:00

Just a question: gcc and g++, what includes do they have? Eg, Id really like to do some openGL in it, but if I compile progs with openGL, will they work?

If anyone has any idea, please answer!
