Re: [ts-7000] Error installing gcc

[David Smead <>]

You need to be root to run apt-get.  I always use my desktop Linux box with the synaptic program to look for stuff that is missing.  It will give a list of dependencies.  Then you can apt-get install them on the other machine.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I have a TS7800 booting from an SDCard with the image downloaded from the TS site.

I am just starting to try programming on this machine.

When I entered the command GCC test.cpp it complained that it could not find cc1plus. After some googling it seemed like the command

apt-get install build-essentials

was called for. However, after packages are downloaded I get the error messages

Checking init scripts...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 1: /usr/bin/head: Permission denied
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 1: /usr/bin/od: Permission denied
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18lenny1_arm.deb (--unpack):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

bash: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst:: No such file or directory

I have verified the last line of the error message - the reason for the failure is that the directory /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci is missing

I get basically the same messages if I try

apt-get install python.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Jim
