Hi!

I'm trying to set up a development machine with Debian Lenny and Ultimate++.
Everything goes well with dependencies except for libstdc++6-dev that dpkg complains.

How can I solve this so I can install the .deb provided at the U++ website?

Thanks for your attention

Basically it says upp depends on libstdc++6-dev (>= 3.4.6) but libstdc++6-dev is not installed.

But it is installed as libstdc++6.4.3-dev and also I requested it to install above.

I don't understand why this. Any idea?

Maybe it's a link problem?
I am using libstdc++6-4.1-dev and it is working.

Debian has recently renamed libstc++-dev to include a version number in the package identifier. Looks like we need two packages now, one for old (Etch), one for new (>=Lenny) Debian/Ubuntu.

Yeah. I think they renamed. Any way to solve this?
I think if the u++ developers remove the version requirement in the u++ deb this problem would get solved.

What do you think?

Hey guys!
I got U++ working on Debian Lenny! I had to use libstdc++6-dev from Debian Etch repos.

Anyone trying to get U++ working on Debian Lenny should try this! Anyway, I hope this little problem will be solved soon since Lenny is to be released this year to become the new debian stable.

Thanks for this nice tool called Ultimate++!

BTW... I started creating an application for storing data for my sister's medical clinic. Ultimate++ here helps creating a professional and easy to use GUI.
If eveything goes well and she likes I'll post more comments here. Wink

Well, that's a workaround, but I'd like to know if there's a 'cleaner' way to build an universal upp debian package....
If you tell me the *exact* libstdc that comes with lenny (I've got no time to build a lenny setup....), I can try to change my debian script to use it as an alternative of current one.
Than you could test it on a 'clean' lenny ...

Yes, this is a (very dirty) workaround, since aptitude keeps asking if you want to upgrade.

The version available in Lenny is libstdc++6-4.3-dev. But there are also libstdc++6-4.1-dev and libstdc++6-4.2-dev, but unfortanatelly none have the meta-package libstdc++6-dev in Lenny.

BTW... if you run debian etch you don't need to setup a full debian Lenny to check this out. Just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and change from etch to lenny and do apt-get update && apt-caches search libstdc++.
