So just in case, I try to install gcc-g++-4.5.1-x86_64-2 using slackpkg thus:
Code:
slackpkg install gcc-g++-4.5.1-x86_64-2
But this gives this error:
Code:
Looking for gcc-g++-4.5.1-x86_64-2 in package list. Please wait... DONE
No packages match the pattern for install. Try:
/usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade
Anyone any idea what might be the problem here, with both or either problem.

Hi there hitest. Yes I did the usual slackpkg update followed by install-new then upgrade-all. Ran Lilo as the kernel was upgraded, checked the new .conf files for the ones I wished to keep/merge/remove etc. Currently using Google chrome which works fine, but is not really to my liking. Anyhow, since my original post I have tried the latest FF 4.0b6 with the same error, so off now to grab the gcc-g++ via ftp to see if that does any good.

Hi again hitest,
Good news is that I am now back on firefox having ftp'd gcc-g++-4.5.1-x86_64-2.txz from Slackware, but the issues with slackpkg still remain. e.g a search for gcc-g++ now reveals it as being installed, but as a test I tried
Code:
slackpkg reinstall gcc-g++
and still get this error
Quote:

So now need to get this last problem sorted out before I can really mark this as resolved.
To answer your question though, I had no md5 checksum errors
My bad. Just realised that I needed to check the slackpkg blacklist, and there they were, (all of the gcc stuff) so a quick edit and upgrade later all is looking good.
Thanks to all for the help.
