When I attempt to build the peless project: http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Apelliott11&package=pel... under ubuntu 7.04 I get the following error message: expansion error nothing provides libboost-regex-dev, nothing provides libboost-filesystem-dev I think this is because these packages are in the universe repository: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libboost-rege... http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin//search_packages.pl?version=feisty&subwor... Is there anyway around this to make these packages available for my build? peless also fails to build under debian etch, but it gets a different expansion error: have choice for libstdc++-dev needed by libboost-dev: libstdc++2.10-dev libstdc++6-4.1-dev libstdc++6-dev libstdc++5-3.3-dev, have choice for libstdc++-dev needed by libsigc++-2.0-dev: libstdc++2.10-dev libstdc++6-4.1-dev libstdc++6-dev libstdc++5-3.3-dev I guess libstdc++dev is an indrect dependancy but there are multiple versions that supply the dependancy and the build service can not decide which version to supply? Is there a workaround for this? Thank You. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
