Unable to install gcc-c++ 5.4.0-5 [SOLVED]

Postby leon244 » Jul 13th, '18, 13:20

I am trying to compile FreeCad 0.17. When I run cmake I get an error:
Code: Select all
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (project):
  No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found.

I tried installing gcc-c++ 5,4,0-5 and get the error
Code: Select all
Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:
- gcc-c++-5.4.0-5.mga6.x86_64

When I run urpmi from the command line I get:
Code: Select all
The following package cannot be installed because it depends on packages
that are older than the installed ones:
gcc-c++-5.4.0-5.mga6

My installed gcc packages are
Code: Select all
gcc-5.5.0-1.mga6
gcc-plugins-5.5.0-1.mga6
gcc-cpp-5.5.0-1.mga6
libgcc1-5.5.0-1.mga6

I am up to date in all my packages as far as I know. I am able to install gcc3.3++, but the compiler says that is too old and it need a newer version (above 4,2) to run,
Is there a way to see which dependencies are the problem?
Is there a way to install the gcc-c++ compiler?
Thank you.

You don't need to compile it, freeimage can also be installed as appimage, see the recent posts in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12200

For the gcc+c++ problem, please provide the complete outputs as root of
Code: Select all
urpmq --list-media active --list-url
urpmi --debug gcc-c++

Well, you have quite the mixup there, a lot of debug, testing and backports repositories active. And at some point you installed some packages from there, and now you can't install gcc-c++ because one of the dependencies is newer then what the normal package from the repositories permits. Apart from that you're also missing Tainted 32bit Updates.

Please disable at least the following repositories permanently:

I tried to clean everything up. Removed the media and removed the libstdc++-5.5. I ran the --debug and found I also have gcc-5.5.0-1.mga6 and this will not allow the install of gcc++. If I try to remove it I get a message that a lot of other stuff need to be removed including kernels and dkms. I will just go with the AppImage for now. Thank yoiu

What you could do is run urpmq --not-available which will show you all packages that are not contained in the currently enabled repositories.
Then you could run urpmi --downgrade on all of those packages together to downgrade all of them in one go, then it will not remove any package.
Best post the output of
Code: Select all
urpmq --list-media active --list-url
urpmq --not-available

output of --not-available is a list of 1000 packages, so I am not sure you want the whole list. Filtered for gcc I get

Postby doktor5000 » Jul 14th, '18, 19:59

So you already have more then 1000 packages installed from the testing and backports repositories, which is not really a good or consistent state ...

You can try the downgrade with urpmi but I believe you also need to specify the version that you want to downgrade TO (unlike with yum/dnf). You can try with
Code: Select all
urpmi --downgrade gcc gcc-plugins gcc-cpp libstdc++6

So I tried exactly as you wrote and 14 packages were identified and downgraded putting me back to gcc 5.4, I then rebooted and all seemed OK. I installed gcc-c++ 5.4 without a problem. Now I will just wait and make sure my system stays stable before doing anything further.
Thank you for your patience and help.
