Title: Linux Lucid problems with install
Post by: wikiro on July 20, 2010, 08:37:23 am

Im having a multitude of problems that I can't find in the archive here.
First when I try and install code::blocks I get this message.

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information...

But code::blocks still runs only it cant find the main.cpp
(im new)
Ive used code::blocks on windows XP with no problem but can't seem to get it to work on the latest Ubuntu.  Anyone have any helpful hint or anything that can steer me in the right direction?

Make sure you are not running any other packager manager at the same time, as is apparently indicated by the error message (I edited the list in order to point to the relevant stuff). Also note that you already have code::blocks installed, as per that description, and apparently the only think that went wrong was with the man database, which is not essential to running the program anyway.

Read more on package management under Ubuntu, this is an essential skill for working with it.

It won't "find" a main.cpp unless you create one, or am I missing something?
