Where do I find this package? I have been successful in installing it on fedora, but can't find it for ubuntu. </blockquote>Well the easiest way to find packages is to do this: # apt-cache search libstdc libgmp3-dev - Multiprecision arithmetic library developers tools libstdc++5 - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 libstdc++5-3.3-dev - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (development files) libstdc++6 - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 libstdc++6-4.0-dbg - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (debugging files) libstdc++6-4.0-dev - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (development files) libstdc++6-4.0-doc - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (documentation files) libstdc++6-dbg - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (debugging files) libstdc++6-dev - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (development files) lib32stdc++6-4.0-dbg - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (debugging files) libstdc++5-3.3-dbg - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (debugging files) libstdc++5-3.3-doc - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (documentation files) libstdc++5-3.3-pic - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (shared library subset kit) libstdc++6-4.0-pic - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (shared library subset kit) libstdc++6-doc - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (documentation files) libstdc++6-pic - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (shared library subset kit) And the files for sources is important, as it will determine what the search shows. So look at /etc/apt for your sources and edit to include what you need. Google for your package is always fun as well. -Dee <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;"> It also looks like I need some other packages (see errors below): error: Failed dependencies: /bin/bash is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /bin/sh is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /lib/libasound.so.2 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /lib/libc.so.6 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /lib/libdl.so.2 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /lib/libm.so.6 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /lib/libpthread.so.0 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libc.so.6 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libdl.so.2 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libm.so.6 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libpthread.so.0 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is needed by ttsynthcore-1.0-0.i386 If anyone can point me to the correct packages to install to get this to install I would be very grateful!!
