I am running hamm, originally installed from a CD I burned abotu 2 weeks before code freeze. The past 2 nights I have been upgradeing packages to the latest frozen with apt-get Since I yesterday became a registered debian package maintainer and am now able to upload my packages, I thought I would look over xfstt one last time and upload my latest version into unstable, unfortunatly it wouldn't compile! This program compiled fine and runs on my system from a few weeks ago. Earlier tonight I upgraded gcc to the latest version, and I have upgraded various other packages (I think I have upgraded all of my essential and required packages...I am not exactly sure tho, I use apt-get by hand so...) I have not changed the actual source code AT ALL since the last time I built the package (I did edit the rules a bit but only a few lines which have to do with handleing documentation) The program is written in C++ and the Makefile use "cc" as its compiler When I try to compile (I also tried just "make" from the source directory) I get the error that it "cc1plus" does not exist...I straced it and saw it looked ina number of placed, then I did: [sjc@Shit-Box xfstt-0.9.8]$ locate cc1plus /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3/cc1plus if I goto that directory, cc1plus does not exist, but being that it is in my database of file names, and updatedb runs nightly, this must have happend over the past day. WHat is the problem (hmm I just tried, if I change both the compiler and linker to g++ and make it works fine so I will do that and build the package and upload the package if it pases my testing) but...shouldn't "cc" work fine? (btw I noticed in package descriptions that g++ and gcc were split now so I installed g++ with apt-get too) is there a reason they were split in a fashopn that makes one have to explicitly call one or the other? (note: I just found the g++ thing to work while I was writting this but...wouldn't this break some things?) -Steve PS I got a note earlier about my postings to this list being unreadable (hmm Write-Only e-mail?)
