Stripey’s visit with Alyssa

  • October 23, 2011 6:14 pm

Alyssa was recently given a toy to take home from her child care centre. Stripey, the purple zebra. Stripey comes with a book of all of her adventures from all of the houses that she visits, and parents are expected to put together a couple of pages of photos and story to go along with Stripey’s visit. Today, we did this (albeit with green text and borders for the printed version)

libstdc++5.so installation

  • October 4, 2011 10:39 pm

Newer versions of Ubuntu (and debian?) are now using libstdc++6 instead of libstdc++5, and the repositories no longer contain the older version. There are still a number of applications available that depend on libstdc++5, with a typical error message that you might see looking a little like this:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of <insert name of attempted install here>:
<insert name of attempted install here> depends on libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1); however:
Package libstdc++5 is not installed.

A google search takes you to any number of how to fix it guides, with many people offering a version of libstdc++5.so on their site. Personally, I’d prefer to get it directly from one of the distros…

If you need to install libstdc++5, downloads and repos are available direct from debian here: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libstdc++5/download
