[parisc-linux] Problems with debian instalation

[Charlie Navarro]

Hello,

first, I want to send a big congratulation to the people that works porting 
Linux to my HP 712/60. If I said: it a good job!!!!, they are a small words. 
The english does not my mother lenguaje.

Ok, I have a question.

I installed my 712/60 from palinux-0.6-32STI.iso and all OK. I had some 
poblems with the keyboard (some sequence of key in vi, in some case fell down 
the system) btw my problem is the debian dependences.

I made a "apt-get dselect-upgrade" with out problems, with the original 
sources.list that it came in the iso.
Now I have the dependences problems to install gcc. cpp depends of cpp-3.0 
but it is not installable. xbase-clients depends of cpp.

Ok, I want to run X, but I can not. I want to compile X but I don't have the 
gcc. I know the step to make a compiler, 
http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr/en/compile.html is easy to follow. 
Are another site to download the deb, and the correct dependences?

Thank in advance

Charlie

This is a known problem with STI console, but no bug was filed in the BTS. So 
I just filed one. IIRC, setting TERM to vt100 helps.

The gcc package is just a pseudopackage that depends on the right version gcc 
for the architecture, in this case gcc-3.0. Since gcc-3.0 is not yet in the 
archive it can't find the dependency. As Richard pointed out, use the debs on 
puffin.external.hp.com for now. I am working on getting those integrated and 
in the Debian archive.

XFree86 is in the Debian archive but you can't run a local Xserver yet. You 
can run apps remotely and even use Xnest. Does this answer your question?
