[Neurodebian-users] matlab-spm8 fails to install due to missing gcc

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Hi Holger,

thanks for the report

I guess we should indeed recommend (or even depend) on unversioned gcc
package as well since now we have only

Recommends: libstdc++6-4.4-dev | libstdc++-dev

which should have pulled in the corresponding versioned gcc... what do
you have for

/bin/ls /usr/bin/gcc*

and

dpkg -l gcc*

?
