I'm trying to install the c compiler into a Mandrake 9.1 beta fresh build. I get an error saying: Conflicts were detected: gcc-cpp = 3.2.2-2mdk is needed by gcc-3.2.2-2mdk install aborted. However gcc-cpp is already installed.
any ideas?

cheers,

Which version of gcc-cpp is installed? rpm can tell you.

Steve.

gregh

v 3.2.2-3mdk

stevencotton

Don't really know. Try uninstalling and reinstalling, you shouldn't have to do that though, I prefer not to use rpms personally.

Both gcc-cpp and gcc must be the same version to work correctly so expect as your gcc-cpp (c++) version is newer than the gcc (c) you are trying to install you are getting these problems. Either get a copy of gcc-3.2.2-3mdk or run rpm with the --nodeps option.

>> Either get a copy of gcc-3.2.2-3mdk

that's what I'm trying to install!!

can I run rpm -nodeps from a command line then?

LAF, spot the windows user :-)

Yes you can run rpm from the cmdline with the --nodeps option
rpm -Uvh --nodeps <pkgname>

try taking alook at the man page.

Your original text reports your trying to install gcc-3.2.2-2mdk and not gcc-3.2.2-3mdk.

Edited to remove nested quotes as bbs software cant take it.

cheers all.

Kind of related question, but are there scripts that I can run from the command line in order to setup networking and the hostname? Many moons ago I used to run netsetup or somesuch on Ultrix.

cheers,

doesn't mandrake use YAST (yet another setup tool) for that sort of thing? haven't used it in a while mind...

michael_clarkson

YAST is the installation tool for SUSE Linux, I believe Mandrake provide several tools called *drak*. Take a look in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin

yup drakconfig seems to do the trick.

Now my network appears to get an IP address from my DHCP server, and can ping the router, but can't see past the router!

anyone any ideas?

Did you set a default gateway?

gregh

netstat -r has

Destination Gateway Genmark Flags
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG

michael_clarkson

Your DHCP server should be supplying the deafult gateway,subnet, DNS servers etc etc.

Can you see the correct router/gateway if you look at the routing table using "route"

Whats your router and how are you trying to see past it, it may be set to drop ICMP requests.

The router is 192.168.1.1, the route command shows the same table as above that netstat -r shows

the router is a draytek, which is working fine on windows. My windows info is as follows. Is there something similiar to ipconfig under Linux that will show me what it thinks the gateway, dns servers etc are?

Greg,

You'll have to use a combination of "ifconfig" which will show you IP related information show as IP Address, Subnet Mask etc.

And as you've already discovered "netstat" or "route" to show your routing information.

You could try using "nslookup" or "dig" to check you DNS config or just take a look at /etc/resolv.conf.

You might also have traceroute installed and most probably tcpdump - both valuable tools to help you troubleshoot.

HTH

I'm up!

added to /etc/sysconfig/network

GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
GATEWAYDEV="eth0"

and added

nameserver 192.168.1.1

to /etc/resolv.conf

thanks all!
