[Cooker] lib_cpp :o(

2002-11-22 Thread Damian Gatabria

i've found my system is missing this file called /etc/alternatives/lib_cpp
i googled for it, and found only a thread about someone who already found
this issue, but no solution. rpmfind.net does not tell me what i'm missing,
yet i need this file (apparently) to be able to build XFree from Mandrake's
.src.rpm ... 

of course, i tried urpmi lib_cpp but found nothing there either..

i finally thought well, it must be an incomplete gcc package, downloaded
gcc 3.2.1 IIRC (latest release) ..built it (slow machine.. took me hours) only
to find out it did not provide this lib_cpp ...

is anybody kind enough to tell me where to go from now? obviously
i'm missing an RPM but i simply can't find it...

Thanks!

Damian

Support question, wrong list.

If you have cpp, run as root update-alternatives --auto cpp 
That should do it.

ll /etc/alternatives/| grep cp
cpp - /usr/bin/cpp-3.2*
lib_cpp - /usr/bin/cpp-3.2*
