Hi folks,
Some months ago I got a new computer, and tried Linux
Mandrake 7.0 (I had the free installation disk). And I
liked it.
Now, some days ago I bought the new Linux Mandrake 7.1: I
had before me three CDs (Installation, Applications and
Sources), and a (surprisingly small) manual. (Not that I
needed an installation manual.) I like it very much as
well.
Anyway, in the installation process I realized that there
was two additional CDs I didn't have. Well, no problem about
this... for the moment.
But I was puzzled when, after choosing "Development" in the
general orientation for my workstation, and selected ALL the
packages (I checked them one by one anyway), I got installed
the g++ compiler, of course, lots of IDE (like KDevelop),
the binaries of STL (libstdc++....) versions 2.8.1 and a
previous one (I don't remember the number), but
THERE WAS NO HEADER FILE CORRESPONDING TO THE STL!!!
Now, I work mostly in C++. How in the hell can I used all
those nice g++ compiler and IDEs, if I CANNOT COMPILE AN
STUPID "Hello, world" THAT USES iostream !??
I got my problem half solved, after looking for the package
libstdc++-devel-2.95.2-7mdk.i586.rpm ... Even then I had to
make some links in order to have a working system. BTW,
there was _no_ such problem in Linux Mandrake 7.0.
My question is: Is this a (stupid/simple) mistake from
Mandrake, or it is done in purpose?
Thanks, and cheers,
J C
