installing g++ 4.4.2 hell...

Okay... short story long: SPent the weekend in INSTALL HELL trying to
get SuSE 11.0 to install and network between my three servers/laptop/
windows Vista machine. After being unable to get NFS to work worth a
flying truck, I reinstalled and 10.3 and my network is back. The whole
reason I went to the upgrade was to have the latest/greatest version
of g++ (v 4.4.2). So I downloaded the new tarball from GNU and
attempted to install it on my main development platform. The issue I
am getting now is that the configre file cant find the following
pacakges(sic):
GMP 4.1+
MPFR 2.3.2+

The problem is, when I go out to the repository, the two associated
pacakges do not exist.

I would like to at the very least upgrade to the latest g++, but
unless I can find the specified paackges, I am rather screwed. Has
anyone else come across this and resolved it?

Thanks

Joe

Hi

You could try rebuilding the one from the SLE10 SDK?
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/gcc/SLE-10_SDK/

10.3 is gone now...... :(

What about running a later version in a VM on your development box?

using Yast???? or manually freaking in the conf file?

A bit strange... 4.4.1 is the latest stable... (july 22, 2009).

So I downloaded the new tarball from GNU and
attempted to install it on my main development platform. The issue I

MPFR 2.3.2+

If you start with the latest versions of packages you can indeed visit
install hell, but that's the bill to pay for latest versions.
I'm running 11.0 and mpfr is at version 1.1.1. Did you install mpfr2.3.2 and
gmp 4.1?

Taco,

These are new pacakges I have never heard of before. I have the older
10.3 CDs that I was attempting to install from (but even THAT fubar'ed
on on of my hosts). I swear, the more they try to mkae linux more
'Windows-friendly', the more they fruck it up.
The crappy part is that I couldnt even FIND the repositories anywhere
for GMP or MPFR.

The final insult-to-injury wis that when I install the distro (ubuntu/
fedora/suse) NFS is completely borked as well. :(

It was just a craptastic, shit-sandwich of a weeked as far as getting
any work done on the computer.

yes, I agree. Fortunately everybody is very happy with win7.

well, that's not too difficult.... Download configure make install I
suppose.

http://www.mpfr.org/ (first link in google with search "mpfr" )
http://gmplib.org/ (second link in google with search " gmp" ..)

I run NFS when doing embedded work (source code on PC, run NFS server and
login to embedded system with ssh and mount back the PC directory). Never
any problem so far with opensuse. But everything is in the same subnet
behind a router. No experience with external mounts, but this can't be too
difficult.
