Try:

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install g++-4.2 libstdc++6-4.2

[ET!]

or download the two packages from the net(not through synaptic) and install it

i got the packs from the net. i dclick on one it cant install untill the other is installed .

[SkonesMickLoud]

Aptitude and/or apt-get will download all of the needed dependencies for you.

dont have the internet, geting close to dragging my comp to the library and hooking up there. untilll then what should i do.

copy the packages in the /var/cache/apt/archives
folder and install them with apt-get.

I could be wrong, but you could type in the following and get everything you need:


sudo apt-get install build-essential


That would install both g++ and the standard headers.

[carrarin]

dont have internet, so cant do that. thanks anyways.

Take them to a new folder:
Change to that foldet (using cd)

sudo dpkg -i --force-depends *.deb

sudo apt-get install -f

And the dog will stop chasing its tail. ;)


I would however recommend.
If you have the Ubuntu install CD.
Insert the CD.

sudo apt-cdrom add

sudo apt-get install build-essential

It will install all essential the packages with only requiring the CD, not internet.
