dpkg -i foo bar seemed a little bit criptic to me. In case it was to you as well, you can just type
dpkg -i g++*.deb libstdc++2.9-dev*.deb Both packages will be installed without any problem. I know this because I had the same question as you had, and this was the (successful) suggestion I was given. cheers, -- kevin ******************************************************************************* Kevin M.
