Back|track 5 - NeXpose install problem.

In the absence of any objections (or this post being deleted) - can someone give me some ideas on how to get NeXpose installed in BT5? My apologies if my search abilities have missed a critical post.

First things, first...

Setup:

• BT5 (32bit) KDE hdd install.

Commands run (after getting startx to work):
root@bt:~#apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade && msfupdate && airodump-oui-update && apt-get install postgresql

Downloaded the NeXpose installer and then changed it to executable. Then installed what I could from the NeXpose Quick-Start Guide (screen, xvfb, xfonts-base, xfonts-75dpi, xserver-xorg, libxtst6, libxp6)

I keep getting hung up on "libstdc++5". Anyone know of a solution around this, or of forcing it to install correctly?

I did this, but to no avail:
root@bt:~#apt-get -f install libstdc++5

Any ideas anyone? (o_O)???

Forgot to mention I downloaded "libstdc++5" and the associated dependency "gcc-3.3-base" and installed 'em - but no dice.

I've got it working by installing the missing dependency myself.

Just get the .deb file from the Debian site:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool....6-20_i386.deb

Then do a dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-20_i386.deb, et voila :)

Hi Animus,

According to NeXpose manual libstdc++5 package has been deprecated and is no longer available in Ubuntu repositories.
But you can download it manually from the Debian web site at http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libstdc++5.
To install it use "dpkg -i [package_name.deb]"
If it solves your issue, please mark this thread as [SOLVED].

Best regards,
Ahilles

For the sake of the thread, this is what solved the issue for me.
