Hello everyone,
First of all thanks for all the help on the forums!
I am having a problem installing the Power Block. During installation it says it is “Unable to locate package g++-4.9”.
I have it connected properly and powered up. I am attempting to the follow the instructions on the PowerBlock webpage.
I enter the following commands:
1. sudo apt-get update
-a long list of commands comes up, and everything seems to work just fine.
2. sudo apt-get upgrade -y
– it says Reading package lists… Done
Reading state information… Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
3. sudo apt-get install -y git cmake g++-4.9
-when I enter the last line it says:
Reading package lists… done
Building depedency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package g++-4.9
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘g++-4.9’
I went ahead and continued on with the PowerBlock setup.
git clone git://github.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock.git
cd PowerBlock
make
sudo make install
sudo make installservice
But, I just get an error at the end saying it cannot locate g++-4.9. There seems to be a problem with installing g++-4.9.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
Thanks!
