The libg++2.8.2 package contains an old gnu C++ library that is no longer actively maintained. The 27 and 272 packages provide support for older versions of g++. You don't want to use these for compiling programs unless the program depends on the bugs in the 2.7.2 compiler. For slink, you need to get the following packages: g++ libstdc++2.9-dev libstdc++2.9 (you probably have that already) and the gcc packages. HTH, Eric Meijer -- E.L.
