Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forum Cool

The problem is not in the package, it is that dpkg doesn't handle dependencies. It only installs the package you supply to the -i switch, but not the packages it depends on. To fix this, you can use following command to install the missing dependencies and run the configuration step for theide:

apt-get install -f

This will run the postinst skript that creates GCC.bm, so it should fix all your problems.

Now just to be sure: Are you sure you want to install only theide package? Most users would want to have "upp" as well. The only exceptions are when 1) you want to use sources from svn and/or 2) you want to use theide for non-U++ projects. Both is OK, I just want to make sure you know what are you doing Wink

Secondly, I am not familiar with Backtrack, but since it is Ubuntu derivative, you might consider trying to install U++ from PPA as described in this guide. The advantage of PPA is that the packages will be updated in the same way as the rest of your system. With dpkg you would have to install the packages manualy every time you want to upgrade.

Best regards,
Honza
