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?

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

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?
