Basically, I installed mandrake from the HDD. And I've got it working some what (I'm on it now.) But, when i was installing there were a few files that were missing or unreadable (mind you i downloaded all three Rpm's.) Whenever I go to install something it gives me different errors. Heres one I get when i go to install AIM:

Some package requested cannot be installed:

aim-1.5.234-1.i386 (due to unsatisfied libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2)

do you agree ?

 

Tried to install GCC, and it said I needed a proper CC compiler

 

Anyhelp would be appreaciate

Are you installing with urpmi? It will take care of all dependencies automatically. If you don't have it set up, do a search on the board for "urpmi". There are plenty of threads on the subject.

 

Also I see you're trying to install a "i386" package, which is not specifically made for Mdk. If you want to download manually, make sure the package is for Mdk (ends in "i586"), unless of course, there is no such package. Having said that, not every "i586" package is Mdk

Welcome to the board!

A few files missing/unreadable usually means a bad burn. Re-Burn and try again. You're up and running so if you want to continue you'll probably be ok, just don't be suprised when these things happen in the future.

 

The Mandrake Control Center=mcc

 

go to mcc>Software Management>rpmdrake+ and Search for libstdc and aim (if on the cd's) and install them.

 

Or, as root in a terminal;

urpmi libstdc++2

 

there are a few libstdc's

[root@ml root]# urpmf libstdc
libstdc++5:/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
libstdc++5-devel:/usr/include/c++/3.3.1
libstdc++2.10:/usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2
libstdc++2.10-devel:/usr/include/g++-3

So how do ya know which one? Search for the file libc6.1-1.so.2

[root@ml root]# urpmf libc6.1-1.so.2
libstdc++2.10:/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
[root@ml root]#

so in my case the best for me to do would be;

urpmi libstdc++2.10

 

I say this because I use cooker for my sources and yours may be different, but

urpmi libstdc++2

should show you the correct version.
